Birdies fly with new ambition
spring is in their song
soon you'll yourself a wishin
days were not so long
If my thought is not defined
listen while I speak my mind.

There ought to be a moonlight saving time
so I could love that girl of mine
Until the birdies wake and chime
Good morning!

There ought to be a law in clover time
To keep that moon out overtime
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, croon a tune to the man up in the moon
And here's what I'D say:

There ought a Moonlight savings time
So I could love that girl of mine,
Until the birdies wake and chime
"Good morning."

When the weather man is sleeping,
With the gay suneams,
To his housetop I'll go creeping
In the land of dreams.
When the tardy moon comes out,
I'll stand there and bravely shout:

There ought to be a moonlight saving time...
