Sleighride in July - 1944

Dr.Pitt-Payne in London UK - 10 Feb 2002

If I were the type to play around
it wouldn't be so bad,
but I didn't show my way around
and what a time I had!

I was taken for a sleighride in July.
Oh, I must have been
a set up for a sigh.
A mocking bird was whistling
a sentimental tune
and I didn't know enough
to come in out of the moonlight.
So, the big romance was only makebelieve,
just a sleighride on a balmy summer eve.
My dreams were safe all winter
and then to think that I
was taken for a sleighride in July.

I was taken for a sleighride in July.
Oh, I must have been
a set up for a sigh.
A mocking bird was whistling
a sentimental tune
and I didn't know enough
to come in out of the moonlight.
So, the big romance was only makebelieve,
just a sleighride on a balmy summer eve.
My dreams were safe all winter
and then to think that I
was taken for a sleighride in July.
