Do I Worry

Words & Music by Stanley Cowan & Bobby Worth
Recorded by The Ink Spots, 194


Intro: ||: G  Edim | Am  D7  :||

         Am                          D7
Do I worry, 'cause you're stepping out?

          G                         E7
Do I worry, 'cause you've got me in doubt?

                      Am                         D7
Though your kisses aren't right, do I give a bag of beans?

        G                                                   D7
Do I stay home every night and read my magazines?

          Am                       D7
Am I frantic, 'cause we've lost the spark?

              G                   E7
Is there panic, when it starts turning dark?

                  Am
And when evening shadows creep,

        G                         E7
Do I lose any sleep over you?

         Am                  D7               G
Do I worry?  You can bet your life I do.


(Repeat Intro)


Verse 2 (Spoken over same chords))

         Am                    D7
Do I worry, when the Iceman calls?

         G           E7
Do I worry, if Niagara falls?

                    Am                                    D7
Though you treat me just like dirt, do you think I give a snap?

              G                                          D7
Are my feelings really hurt, when you're sitting in somebody elses lap?

         Am                      D7
Am I curious, when the gossip flies?

      G                                E7
Am I furious, 'bout your little white lies?

         Am                                
And when all our evenings end 'cause 

           G                        E7
    you've got a sick friend, that needs you

         Am                           D7      G
Do I worry?  Honey you know dog-goned well, I do

Am I frantic, 'cause we've lost the spark?

              G                   E7
Is there panic, when it starts turning dark?

                  Am
And when evening shadows creep,

       G                 E7
Do I lose any sleep over you?

         Am          D7              G
Do I worry?  You can bet your life I do.

The Ink Spots performed the song in the Abbott & Costello picture, "Pardon My Sarong" (1941). It was also used by Martin Scorcese in two of his films, "Raging Bull" (1980) and "The Aviator" (2004).
