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…
(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.

The hurdy-gurdies,
The birdies,
The cop on the beat,
The Banker
And 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.
