Day In, Day Out (1939 Song)
"Day In, Day Out" is a popular song with music by Rube Bloom and lyrics by Johnny Mercer and published in 1939.

Recordings The song has been recorded by numerous artists. *Helen Forrest with Artie Shaw and his Orchestra – ''Bluebird Records 78 rpm single'' (1939) * Helen Ward with Bob Crosby and his Orchestra (1939) – a #1 hit on the Billboard charts *Horace Silver – ''Horace Silver Trio'' (1953) *Frank Sinatra – '' The Point of No Return'' (Expanded Edition 2002 – Song recorded April 4, 1953), '' Come Dance with Me!''
