ELMER'S TUNE
Songwriters: E Albrecht, S Gallop, D Jurgens

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.

Elmer's Tune, performed by Peggy Lee.

Hope you enjoyed Peggy; thanks for dropping by.

NOTE: I learned something while researching this song. I had often wondered what a hurdy-gurdy was and now I know. (There is another meaning which states it is a lute like instrument.)
