Moonlight Savings Time - Maurice Chevalier

Birdies fly with new ambitioin

Spring is in their song

Soon you’ll find yourself a’wishin'

Days were not so long

If my thought is not defined

Listen while I speak my mind

There oughta be a moonlight saving time

So I could love that girl/man of mine

Until the birdies wake and chime, «Good morning!»

There ought be a law in clover time

To keep that moon out overtime

To keep each lover’s lane in rhyme 'til morning

You 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’s what I’d say…

There oughta be a moonlight saving time

So I could love that girl/man of mine

Until the birdies wake and chime,

«Good morning!»
