<SPOKEN by announcer>  Here's a newcomer that starts its Hit Parade career tonight at number 9.  Frank

 Sinatra's going

to sing it for you.  So it's out to Hollywood for Frank Sinatra and the song that's ninth this week,

"No Love, No

Nothin'."

 

No love, no nothin' until my baby comes home

No sir, no nothin' as long as baby must roam

I promised her I'd wait for her till even Hades froze

I'm lonesome, Heaven knows, but what I said still goes

 

No love, no nothin' and that's a promise I'll keep

No fun with no one, I'm gettin' plenty of sleep

My heart's on strike and though it's like an empty honeycomb

No love, no sir, no nothin' till my baby comes home

No love, no nothin', that's a promise I'll keep

No fun with no one, I'm gettin' plenty of sleep

My heart's on strike and though it's like an empty honeycomb

No love, no sir, no nothin' till my baby comes home
