Nesting Time In Flatbush 1917 Kern

I've always liked the sort of song
you hear so much today,
called: "When it's somethingorother time"
is some place far away
Oh "Tulip Time in Holland"
a pleasant time must be,
while some are strong for
"Apple Blossom Time in Normandy."
But there's another time and place
that makes a hit with me.

When it's nesting time in Flatbush,
we will take a little flat,
with welcome on the mat
where there's room
to swing a cat.
I'll hang up my hat,
I'll hang up my hat,
life will be so sweet with you,
when it's nesting time in Flatbush,
In Flatbush Avenue.

When it's nesting time in Flatbush,
as you heard me say before,
you will see the janitor
with the girl whom I adore.
On the seventh floor,
on the seventh floor,
we will start to bill and coo,
when it's nesting time in Flatbush,
in Flatbush Avenue.

Our little home may have defects
like all these flats in town,
it's wiser not to lean on the walls,
because they might fall down,
it's rather badly lighted,
which makes it hard to see.
The neighbors play the Gramophone
each night till after three!
But it will be a Paradise
if shared, my love, with thee!

When it's nesting time in Flatbush,
we will take a little flat,
with welcome on the mat
where there's room
to swing a cat.
I'll hang up my hat,
I'll hang up my hat,
life will be so sweet with you,
when it's nesting time in Flatbush,
In Flatbush Avenue.

When it's nesting time in Flatbush,
as you heard me say before,
you will see the janitor
with the girl whom I adore.
On the seventh floor,
on the seventh floor,
we will start to bill and coo,
when it's nesting time in Flatbush,
in Flatbush Avenue.
