Just had a quick listen (youtube recording, not spotify) and I think it's this

(WHAT DO WE DO ON A) DEW DEW DEWY DAY

Bad days I just adore 'em
Bad days I'm crazy for 'em
When there's mist around,
Dew upon the ground.

I like blue funny weather
Don't like too sunny weather
With sweet-sweety mine
I can't enjoy my time

All we do is go out walking
When the sun shines bright and gay
But what do we do - what do we do
On a dew-dew-dewy day?

All we do is lots of talking,
On a moonlight night in May
But what do we do - what do we do
On a dew-dew-dewy day?

Do we love?
Do we play?
Do we hug just a little bit
Kiss just a little bit
Boy! I'll say!

When the parlour's warm and cosy,
And the old folks are away
Yes, what do we do - what do we do
On a dew-dew-dewy day?

<Instrumental break>

If it's raining when I start home,
Then he says I'll have to stay
Then, what do we do - what do we do
On a dew-dew-dewy day?

That's when I lose my umbrella
And for lightning , how I pray
Then, what do we do - what do we do
On a dew-dew-dewy day?

But when Ma
And his Pa
Both say let's not go out tonight
We won't go out tonight

I turn gray

Cause my baby sets on one chair
On the other I must stay
Then, what do we do - what do we do
On a dew-dew-dewy day?
