| A moment after dark
|
| Around the park
|
| An old-fashioned gent comes parading
|
| Dressed in funny clothes
|
| But singing as he goes
|
| The lamplighter’s serenade
|
| The old boy loves a talk
|
| With couples on the walk
|
| But when it’s half after love time
|
| He reaches for his sticks
|
| And from his bag of tricks
|
| He lights every star in the sky
|
| And if a lady or a beau should answer «no»
|
| He sprinkles their hearts with his magic
|
| Then he steals away to sing another day
|
| The lamplighter’s serenade…
|
| And if a lady or a beau
|
| Should find the answer «no»
|
| He sprinkles every heart with magic
|
| Then he steals away to sing another day
|
| The lamplighter’s serenade!!! |
