[Verse]
John:
 Oh, it really wasn't my intention
 To disregard convention:
 It was just an impulse
 That had to be obeyed.
 Beacon Hill behavior we've been scorning.
Cynthia:
 But I'll not go in mourning —
 Though my reputation is blemished, I'm afraid.
 What done, is done.
John:
 But wasn't —and isn't —it fun?

(last two lines of sheet music version lyrics)
 With just one kiss
 What heaven, what rapture, what bliss)

[Refrain 1]
John:
 Honestly, I thought you wouldn't;
 Naturally, you thought you couldn't.
 And probably we shouldn't —
 But aren't you kind of glad we did?

 Actually, it all was blameless;
 Nevertheless, they'll call it shameless.
 So let's keep the lady nameless,
 But aren't you kind of glad we did?

 Socially, you'll be an outcast:
 Obviously, we dined alone.
 On you good name there will be doubt cast —
Cynthia:
 With never a sign of any chaperone.

John:
 No matter how they may construe it —
 Whether or not, we have to rue it —
 Whatever made us do it —
 Say, aren't you kind of glad we did?

[Refrain 2]
Cynthia:
 Honestly, I thought I wouldn't;
 Naturally, I thought I couldn't.
 And probably I shouldn't —
John:
 But aren't you kind of glad we did?
 The community will call me viper.
Cynthia:
 The opportunity should have beeen riper.
Both:
 We'll have to pay the piper —
 But what we did we're glad we did.
Cynthia:
 Supper was quite above suspicion;
 Milk in the glasses when they'd clink.
John:
 Listining to a tired musician —
Cyntia:
 But what is it Mrs. Grundy's going to think?
John:
 I'm a rounder, a bounder, a cad, a
 Boston blighter —
Cynthia:
 You shouldn't be seen alone with your typewriter.
Both:
 Let's turn to something brighter:
 Whatever we did, we're glad we did.

[Verse]
Yesterday the skies were black
And I was blue.
Yesterday, alas alack!
I thought I was through
But knock on wood!
My job looks good,
And having found a dwelling,
My happiness is beyond the telling.


[Refrain 1]
Castles were crumbling
And daydreams were tumbling —
December was battling with June —
But on this bright afternoon
Guess I'll be changing my tune.

Kept on despairing,
Beyond any caring
If I jumped out of a balloon —
But I'm arranging
From now to be changing my tune

At last the skies are bright and shiny;
It's a human world once more.
Yesterday's troubles are tiny —
What were you worried for?

Wanted a permit
To make me a hermit.
To grumble and glare at the moon
But I'm arranging from now
To be changing my tune


[Refrain 2]
No more the feeling
That my world is reeling —
No fearing I'll fall in a swoon,
Problems are all picayune —
That's why I'm changing my tune.

Felt like a sailor
Adrift on a whaler
A-sailing into a typhoon —
But I'm arranging
From now to be changing my tune

At last the skies are bright and shiny;
It's a human world once more.
Yesterday's troubles are tiny —
What was I worried for?

No more resentment,
I'm full of contentment —
Afloat on a dreamy lagoon;
And I'm arranging
From now to be changing my tune.
