Elmer's Tune

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...



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 baker 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

They sing Elmer's tune!
