Music by: Elmer Albrecht, Sammy Gallop & Dick Jurgens
Words by: Elmer Albrecht, Sammy Gallop & Dick Jurgens
Recorded by: Glenn Miller, 1939
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 and any old time
The hurdy-gurdie, the birdie, 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
