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 80 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 The hurdy-gurdies, the birdies, the cop on the beat The baker, 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 Sing Elmer's tune
