Lyrics - Elmer's Tune by Lynn Vera

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.words & music:
