(whistle)
Mr Meadowlark,
We've got an awful lot of serenadin' to do.
Mr Meadowlark,
I'm just a city slicker and I'm counting on you. She's got a country guy who whistles,
My whistle is thin,
So when I begin,
(whistle)
That's where you come in.
(whistle)

Mr Meadowlark, 
If you should cop a gander when I'm kissin' my chick,
Needless to remark,
I hope you'll have the decency to exit, but quick!
If Mrs M thinks you're out steppin',
I'll make it alright.
Mr Meadowlark,
Meet me in the dark tonight.

(whistle)
So when I begin,
(whistle)
That's where you come in.
(whistle)

Mr Meadowlark, 
If you should cop a gander when I'm kissin' my chick,
Needless to remark,
I hope you'll have the decency to exit, but quick! If Mrs M thinks you're out steppin',
I'll make it alright.
Mr Meadowlark,
Meet me in the dark tonight.
