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 me 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
