[He:] I've a funny feeling
that I somehow can't explain
[She:] Goodness me
I hope it's nothing serious.
[He:] First it hits me in the heart
and then attacks my brain,
[She:] Mercy on us
maybe you're delirious,
[He:] I'm afraid it's love
[She:] I've heard that many times before
I'm afraid it's just an awful bluff
[He:] Love and jokes and women,
when they're ancient
are a bore,
[She:] Still you men hand out
the same old stuff:

We've heard about the rambler roses
that twine around the cottage door
The happy blue birds,
there are few birds
we haven't heard about before
[He:] The night in June, the tune,
the love moon, are old
and I want something new
I'd like a lighthouse
by the seaside,
to do light house keeping with you.

We've heard about the rambler roses
that twine around the cottage door
The happy blue birds,
there are few birds
we haven't heard about before
[He:] The night in June, the tune,
the love moon, are old
and I want something new
I'd like a lighthouse
by the seaside,
to do light house keeping with you.

[He:] Won't you take my hand
and feel the throbbing of my pulse
[She:] Let me reassure you
it is normal
[He:] If you'll only take my case
I know you'll get results:
[She:] Patients please remember
to be formal.
[He:] How can I be patient
when you're laughing in your sleeve
[She:] you couldn't find a giggle here
[He:] When I say:
"I love you, darling,
why won't you believe?
[She:] That remark has whiskers on it, dear.

We've heard about the rambler roses
that twine around the cottage door
The happy blue birds,
there are few birds
we haven't heard about before
[He:] The night in June, the tune,
the love moon, are old
and I want something new
I'd like a lighthouse
by the seaside,
to do light house keeping with you.

We've heard about the rambler roses
that twine around the cottage door
The happy blue birds,
there are few birds
we haven't heard about before
[He:] The night in June, the tune,
the love moon, are old
and I want something new
I'd like a lighthouse
by the seaside,
to do light house keeping with you.
