Buds Won't Bud, Song

Buds won't bud, breeze won't breeze and dew won't dew,
One and one ain't even two
When the love you love won't love you.

Buds won't bud, chicks won't chick and micks won't mack,
Blue is white and white is black
When the love you love won't love back.

On account there's no accountin'
When you [A7can't have the one you [A7like,
All your tɾoubles keep on [C7]mountin'
and [Bm]the world is on [C7]a sit-down stɾike,
'Cause;

Buds won't bud, breeze won't breeze and [Bm]dew won't dew,
One and [Bm]one ain't even two
When the love you [A7love won't love you.

Buds won't bud, breeze won't breeze and [Bm]crows won't crow,
Eeny meeny's minus mo
When the love you [A7love says, "Hi ho".

Buds won't bud, notes won't note and [Bm]knots won't knot,
T's won't cross and [Bm]I's won't dot
When the hope you [A7hope goes to [C7]pot.

On account there's no accountin'
When you [A7can't bring your dream about,
All your tɾoubles keep on [C7]mountin'
And the world is just a big blackout,
'Cause;

Buds won't bud, breeze won't breeze and [Bm]dew won't dew,
C-O-D is I-O-U
When the love you [A7love won't love you.
