No milk today (no milk today), my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today (no milk today), it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today (no milk today), it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means?
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been?
Behind the door, where my love reigned as queen
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been?
Behind the door, where my love reigned as queen
No milk today (no milk today), it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we turned night into day
The company was gay, we turned night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street, back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up, two down
A terraced house in a mean street, back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up, two down
No milk today (no milk today), it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we turned night into day
As music played (as music played), the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
The company was gay, we turned night into day
As music played (as music played), the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
How could they know just what this message means?
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been?
Behind the door, where my love reigned as queen
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been?
Behind the door, where my love reigned as queen
No milk today (no milk today), my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street, back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up, two down
A terraced house in a mean street, back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up, two down
No milk today (no milk today), my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today (no milk today), it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

The company was gay, we turned night into day
The company was gay, we turned night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street, back of town
Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street, back of town
Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street, back of town
Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street, back of town
A terraced house in a mean street, back of town
Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street, back of town
Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street, back of town
Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street, back of town

About"No Milk Today" is a song that was written by Graham Gouldman and originally recorded by British pop band Herman's Hermits. It was first released as a single by the Mancunian group in the UK in October 1966 and, with the B-side "My Reservation's Been Confirmed", enjoyed chart success, peaking at No. 7 in the UK Singles Chart. Although not released as a single in the US ("Dandy" was released in its place with the same B-side), it was popular enough to become a moderate hit when it was released there as the B-side to "There's a Kind of Hush", reaching No. 35 in 1967 (the A-side reaching No. 4). It was also a major hit in many European countries.
