[Verse:] Sunday is Sunday to my family But Sunday is not simply Sunday for me For Sunday's the one day when I love to see the funnies Breakfast is nothing of which you can boast But breakfast to me isn't coffee and toast It's coffee and toast and what I love the most, the funnies [Refrain:] Oh, I love the funnies I couldn't go without the funnies A cup o' coffee to my lips and in between the sips The papers with the capers that are in the comic strips Which means I'm simply mad about I mean I couldn't do without the funnies Oh, in my pajamas I love to read the "Katzenjammers" A little coffee in a cup and "Bringing Father Up" I'm dippy over "Skippy" and his little yellow pup Which means I'm simply mad about I mean I couldn't do without the funnies I'm not concerned with the news of the day The stories of who murdered who And for the columns what they have to say SongtexteI have no need of I don't want to read of The guys and all their honeys The wealthy daughters or the sonnies The news about the lovely trips that people take in ships I'd rather read about the people in the comic strips Which means I'm simply mad about I mean I couldn't do without the funnies [Alternate lines:] And as for what Mister Hearst has to say The Dempseys or the Tunneys Aus Songtexte Mania
