That's The Sign Of A Honeymoon 1918

[She:] In the evening
when the shadows
are a creeping,
birds are sleeping
up above,
it is then the willows
cease their daily weeping
and through the trees
there's just a breeze
that sings a song of love
in the shadows
you will always find a "Jamie"
and his "Mamie"
on his knee
where ever it is dark
in meadow lane or park
if they are there
it always proves to me.

That's the sign of springtime
that's a sign of joy.
That's a sign of ring time
for a girl and boy,
when you hear them cooing
when you see them spoon
that's a sign
a good old sign
there will soon be a honeymoon.

That's the sign of springtime
that's a sign of joy.
That's a sign of ring time
for a girl and boy,
when you hear them cooing
when you see them spoon
that's a sign
a good old sign
there will soon be a honeymoon.

[He:] Now if I should go up town
and buy a ring dear
little ring dear
very small,
Then if I should
call on someone
in the spring dear
we'll say perhaps
the sort of chaps
that work in City Hall
if I took the pains
to say to someone pious
will you tie us?
just we two?
If I should do all this
for some sweet little miss
what sort of sign
would that suggest to you.

That's the sign of springtime
that's a sign of joy.
That's a sign of ring time
for a girl and boy,
when you hear them cooing
when you see them spoon
that's a sign
a good old sign
there will soon be a honeymoon.

That's the sign of springtime
that's a sign of joy.
That's a sign of ring time
for a girl and boy,
when you hear them cooing
when you see them spoon
that's a sign
a good old sign
there will soon be a honeymoon.
