Moonlight Saving Me

Birdies fly with new ambition

spring is in their song

soon you'll yourself a wishin

days were not so long

If my thought is not defined

listen while I speak my mind

There ought to be a moonlight saving time

so I could love that boy of mine

until the birdies wake and chime

Good morning!

There ought to be a law in clover time

to keep that moon out overtime

to keep each lover's lane in rhyme

till dawning

You'd better hurry up, hurry up, hurry up

get busy today

you'd better croon a tune, croon a tune

to the man up in the moon

and here is what I say

There ought a Moonlight savings time

so I could love that boy of mine

until the birdies wake and chime

Good morning!

In January the nights are very long

but that's all right

in happy June, comes the honeymoon time

days are longer than the night

In love time's season, the moon's the reason

for every cuddle and kiss

When the days are longer

the nights are shorter

something should be done about this

There ought to be a moonlight saving time

to make the morning glories climb

an hour later on the vine

each morning

You sort of need a moon

to bill and coo

an old back porch

a birch canoe

a parlor lamp in June won't do

I'm warning

I've heard the farmer say

I'll make hay while the sun is shining above

but when the day is done

night begun

you can ask the farmer's son

It's time to make love

There ought to be a moonlight saving time

so I could love that boy of mine

until the birdies wake and chime

Good morning!

That's all!
