Elmer's Tune Songtext / Lyric

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 me 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
