The following lyrics are taken from a YouTube video by Peter Mintun:


THERE'S NO DEPRESSION IN LOVE
Words by Jack Yellen ; music by Dan Dougherty, ©1931.

VERSE 1: What is all this talk about depression?
It's become the national obsession.
Well, there's one thing we'll admit
The depression hasn't hit.
Things haven't slackened down a bit
In it.

CHORUS 1: Stocks are low, may get lower.
Things are slow, may get slower.
Hey, hey! I'm glad to say there's no depression in love.
Bankers sad, getting sadder.
Times are bad; doesn't matter.
Hey, hey! I'm glad to say there's no depression in love.
Folks go right on making love and how it's enjoyed!
When the moon is up above, nobody's unemployed.
Ev'rywhere there's a Lizzie
With a pair who are busy.
Hey, hey! I'm glad to say there's no depression in love.

VERSE 2: With the folks who worry I'm disgusted.
What's the diff'rence? Ev'rybody's busted.
Why be idle? Why be blue?
Why not whoop-a-doop-a-doo?
There's lots of love around for you.
Me too!

CHORUS 2: Rails and steels may be quiet.
Sex appeals profit by it.
Hey, hey! I'm glad to say there's no depression in love.
Money's tight; dimes are dollars,
But at night in the parlors,
Hey, hey! I'm glad to say there's no depression in love.
No one's buying lots of things; on the other hand,
Solitaires and wedding rings still are in great demand.
Goods are cheap; nothing's selling.
Babies keep right on yelling.
Hey, hey! I'm glad to say there's no depression in love.


[There's an early recording by Vincent Rose and his Orchestra with vocalist Scrappy Lambert, in which he only sings the first chorus]
