Winter Nights 1914

They say the only time to spoon
is on a lovely night in June,
And of his love each feller
loves to tell her
beneath the sil'vry moon,
but you can always get in right
beside the cozy fire light,
and if you think much of her,
really love her
tell her on a winter night.

Winter Nights
that's the time to get 'em
Winter Nights,
That's the time to pet 'em,
let it storm,
she's there to keep you warm,
and cozy winter night
no one there to listen
when you're kissin'
take your time you needn't hurry,
Mother's out, so you should worry,
Out side the snow flakes fill the air,
wind is blowing,
inside you both are cuddled there,
fire's going, hug her tight,
beside the fire light,
say fellers,
if you understand 'em,
you can land 'em
on those winter nights.

Winter Nights
that's the time to get 'em
Winter Nights,
That's the time to pet 'em,
let it storm,
she's there to keep you warm,
and cozy winter night
no one there to listen
when you're kissin'
take your time you needn't hurry,
Mother's out, so you should worry,
Out side the snow flakes fill the air,
wind is blowing,
inside you both are cuddled there,
fire's going, hug her tight,
beside the fire light,
say fellers,
if you understand 'em,
you can land 'em
on those winter nights.

The poets rave about the Spring
and all the little birds that sing,
They always give a reason
that's the season
to slip the girl the ring,
but if there's steam heat in the hall,
you'll never miss the spring at all,
and if they like canaries,
up at Mary's
take one ev'ry time you call.

Winter Nights
that's the time to get 'em
Winter Nights,
That's the time to pet 'em,
let it storm,
she's there to keep you warm,
and cozy winter night
no one there to listen
when you're kissin'
take your time you needn't hurry,
Mother's out, so you should worry,
Out side the snow flakes fill the air,
wind is blowing,
inside you both are cuddled there,
fire's going, hug her tight,
beside the fire light,
say fellers,
if you understand 'em,
you can land 'em
on those winter nights.

Winter Nights

Winter Nights,
That's the time to pet 'em,

she's there to keep you warm,
and cozy winter night
no one there to listen
when you're kissin'
take your time you needn't hurry,
Mother's out, so you should worry,
Out side the snow flakes fill the air,
wind is blowing,
inside you both are cuddled there,
fire's going, hug her tight,
beside the fire light,
say fellers,
if you understand 'em,
you can land 'em
on those winter nights.
