lyrics

There ought to be a moonlight saving time so I could love that man of mine
Till the birdies wake and chime good morning
There ought to be a law in clover time to keep that moon out over time
To keep each lover’s lane in rhyme till dawning

You’d better hurry up hurry up hurry up get busy today
You’d better croon a tune to the man in the moon and here’s what I’d say

There ought to be a moonlight saving time so I could love that man of mine
Till the birdies wake and chime good morning

In January the nights are very long and that’s alright
In the happy June come a honeymoon time, days are longer than the nights
In moon-time season the moon’s a reason for every cuddle and kiss
But when the days are longer than the nights are shorter and something must be done about this

There ought to be a moonlight saving time to make them morning glories climb
An hour later on the vine each morning
You sort of need a moon to bill and coo
An old back porch a birch canoe
A parlor lamp in June won’t do I’m warning

I’ve heard the farmer say I’ll make hay while the sun shines above
But when the day is done you can ask the farmer’s son, it’s time to make love

Birdies fly with new ambition
Spring is in their song
Soon you’ll find yourself a-wishin’ the days were not so long
But if my thought is not defined listen while I speak my mine

There ought to be a moonlight saving time so I could love that man of mine
Till the birdies wake and chime good morning
There ought to be…there ought to be a moonlight saving time
