Elmers Tune Lyrics

Artist: Glenn Miller

ELMER'S TUNE
Glenn Miller
- words and music by Elmer Albrecht, Sammy Gallop and Dick Jurgens

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 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

by Rosie on 7/3/2009 11:27pm I agree 1,000 percent with you Alex
by Patty on 7/18/2009 11:16am I've always remembered the lyrics. I learned this as a piano lesson when it was a hit. Now, I'm almost a "lady of 80" (77) and, by golly, I AM on the loose.
