LET'S GO SPARKIN'
From the film "Black Hills" (1948)
(Eddie Dean / Hal Blair)


Eddie Dean & The Plainsmen (Film Soundtrack) - 1948



Let's go sparkin', I'll run out the rig
And we'll go drivin' down the lane
For the Moon is mellow and the wise old owl 
Says we won't be bothered by rain

So let's go sparkin' when the chores are done
Old Dobbin will understand
That a boy and a girl when out beneath the Moon
Are bound to be holdin' hands

Now I'll borrow Pa's best suit
You wear your Mother's shawl
I can almost hear the church bells ringin'
Maybe they will in the Fall

So let's go sparkin', I'm fit to be tied
And my heart's thumpin' with glee
'Cause ev'ryone knows you're my best girl
And you only go sparkin' with me

(Instrumental Break)

Let's go sparkin', I'll run out the rig
And we'll go drivin' down the lane
For the Moon is mellow and the wise old owl 
Says we won't be bothered by rain

Ho-ho-ho, let's go sparkin' when the chores are done
Old Dobbin will understand
That a boy and a girl when out beneath the Moon
Are bound to be holdin' hands

Now I'll borrow Pa's best suit
You wear your Mother's shawl
I can almost hear the church bells ringin'
Maybe they will in the Fall

So let's go sparkin', I'm fit to be tied
And my heart's thumpin' with glee
'Cause ev'ryone knows you're my best girl
And you only go sparkin' with me
