The Black-Out Stroll 1939

Ev'rywhere the lights are out
that's the thing we moan about,
But why be blue
when you can see
we've got a cheerful recipe.

Ev'rybody do the blackout stroll
Round about the town we'll all patrol,
we can live as happily as Old King Cole,
Once we get together in the Blackout stroll.
What's the good of walking with a frown?
Laugh away your worries like a clown,
very, very merrily we'll go to town,
happy and contented
as the lights go down,
There's no more cuddling
in the moon light
there's no more petting
in the park
but why let's worry over moon light
for when we're strolling in the dark
It's lovely,
Ev'rybody do the blackout stroll
laugh and drive your cares right up the pole.
Whisper: "See ya later" to your baby doll
for now we change our partners
in the blackout stroll.
