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 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 banker
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
