| 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 li’ble 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
