Elmer’s Song

[Verse 1]
Why are the stars always winkin' and blinkin' above?
What makes a fellow start thinkin' of fallin' in love?
It's not the season, the reason is plain as the moon
It's just Elmer's tune

[Verse 2]
What makes a lady of eighty go out on the loose?
Why does a gander meander in search of a goose?
What puts the kick in a chicken, the magic in June?
It's just Elmer's tune

[Bridge]
Listen, listen, there's a lot you're li'ble to be missin'
Sing it, swing it, any old place or any old time

[Verse 3]
The hurdy gurdies, the birdies, the cop on the beat
The candle maker, the baker, the man on the street
The city charmer, the farmer, the man in the moon
All sing Elmer's tune

[Bridge]
Listen, listen, there's a lot you're li'ble to be missin'
Sing it, swing it, any old place or any old time
Any old time or place

[Verse 3]
The hurdy gurdies, the birdies, the cop on the beat
The candle maker, the baker, the man on the street
The silly charmer, the farmer, the man in the moon
All sing Elmer's, ace El Elmer's, talking 'bout Elmer's tune
