lyrics

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 the 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 old way and any old 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

Listen
Please stop that kissin' and listen
Baby my
There's a lot you're missin'
Their just listening till you hear 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

The hurdy-gurdies and the birdies
And 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
Everyone sings Elmer's tune
I love the simple melody of Elmer's tune
