Beside the murmuring soft sea waves some lovers like to sit
And watch the wide-winged seagulls soar o'er oceans full of bliss
While others claim a country lane with moonlight bright above 
Is the ideal and only real and proper place to love 

By silvery streams some say love dreams take on an added zest 
Their every glance speaks of romance and kisses taste the best 
Then cheek to cheek on mountain peak some love to flirt and kiss
But of all the lot, the choicest spot in my opinion's this.... 

In a little corner cosey, where I sit with my darling Rosie
With her dear little hand in mine and gaze into eyes divine
Ah, my cosey corner pillow, beats the moonlight, stream or billow
And my head's in a whirl as I kiss each curl of my cosey corner girl

With lamp turned low, nought but the glow of soft and mystic light
I seek my cosey corner and the girl I love tonight
Mid draperies and downy case, luxurious and divine
I take sweet sips from ruby lips of she who's only mine

On moonlight tryst, let some insist by mountain, lake or stream
Where rude mosquitoes interfere and spoil love's sweet young dream
In woody dell let others tell of love's sweet ecstacy
But when I spoon, I want no moon, the place I choose will be....

In a little corner shady, where I sit with my little lady
With her dear little hand in mine and gaze into eyes divine
Ah, my cosey corner pillow beats the moonlight, stream or billow
And my head's in a whirl as I kiss each curl of my cosey corner girl
