Glenn Miller - Elmer's Tune lyrics

rate me

(Elmer Albrecht, Sammy Gallop & Dick Jurgens)

(vocal: Ray Eberle & The Modernaires)

Why are the stars always winkin'

And blinkin' above?

What makes a fella' start thinkin'

Of fallin' in love?

It's not the season,

The reason,

It's plain as the moon,

It's just Elmer's tune.

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.

Listen! Listen!

There's a lot you're

Liable to be missin'.

Sing it! Swing it

Any ol' way

And any ol' time.

The hurdy-gurdies,

The birdies,

The cop on the beat,

The candy maker,

The baker,

The man on the street,

The city charmer,

The farmer,

The Man in the Moon,

All sing Elmer's tune.

The hurdy-gurdies,

The birdies,

The cop on the beat,

The Banker

And the Man on the street

The city charmer,

The farmer,

The Man in the Moon,

All sing Elmer's tune.

They all sing Elmer's tune,

They all sing Elmer's tune.
