(Jack Clement)      The world goes around   And the young men get old   The people next door   Are all down with the cold.      The stars are in the heaven   That's where they belong   They don't shine in my world   Since baby is gone.      If I were a writer   I'd write me a song   And all I could say   Is my baby is gone.      --- Instrumental ---      They had a farsail   Downtown yesterday   They say that Newport House   Will be finished right away.      The weatherman says sunshine   But I know he's wrong   But I don't really care   'Cause baby is gone.      If I were a traveler   I'd go to Hong Kong   And try to forget   That my baby is gone.      --- Instrumental ---      The sheep're in the meadow   The cows're in the corn   And I'm here a wishing   I'd never been born.      The newspaper said 'bout   The world's goin' wrong   Ain't worried 'bout the world   'Cause baby is gone.      If I were a singer   I'd sing me a song   But who wants to sing   When his baby is gone?...
