[G7] Why are the stars always blinking and winking above?
What makes a [C] fellow start thinking of [F] falling in [C] love?
It’s not the [G7] season, the reason is plain as the moon:
[D7] It’s just [G7] Elmer’s [C] Tune.
What makes a [G7] Lady of eighty go out on the loose?
Why does a [C] gander meander in [F] search of a [C] goose?
What puts the [G7] kick in the chicken, the magic in June?
[D7] It’s just [G7] Elmer’s [C] Tune.
[F] Listen, [C] Listen. [F] There’s a lot you’re liable to be [C] missin’.
[D7] Sing it. – – [Am] – – [D7] swing it. [Am]
[G7] Any old [Am7] time and [G7] any old way.
[G7] The hurdy-gurdy, the birdie, the cop on the beat.
The candy [C] maker, the baker, the [F] man on the [C] street.
The city [G7] charmer, the farmer, the man in the moon:
[D7] That’s just [G7] Elmer’s
[D7] It’s just [G7] Elmer’s
Let’s [D7] all sing [G7] Elmer’s [C] Tune.
