Here’s my transcription from the recording at the Internet Archive:


JUST BECAUSE
As recorded by the Shelton Brothers (Bob and Joe) on Decca 46008 A, 1935.

Just because you think you’re so purty,
Just because you think you’re so hot,
Just because you think you’ve got something
That nobody else has got,
Though you made me spend all my money,
Then you laughed and called me ol’ Santy Claus,
But I’m tellin’ you,
Honey, I’m leavin’ you,
Because, just because.

Just because you think I’ll be lonesome,
Just because you think I’ll be blue,
Just because you think I’ll be foolish
To stay at home an’ wait for you,
Though you made me drop all my girlfriends,
Then you laughed and called me Mister Santy Claus,
But I’m tellin’ you,
Baby, I’m through with you,
Because, just because.

There’ll come a time you’ll be lonesome.
There’ll come a day you’ll be blue,
When ol’ Santy Claus won’t be near you
To pay the bills for you.
Though you may say that I’m foolish,
But there just ain’t no Santy Claus,
I’m tellin’ you,
Good gal, I’m through with you,
Because, just because.
