NICKEL SERENADE, THE
(Remark / Stanton / Sharbutt)

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with Vic Schoen & his Orchestra
July 30th 1941 New York


Once a soldier met a maid
After he was on parade,
They met in the rabble of,
Smoke in the babble of
The nickel serenade.

On that loan the record played
All the nickels that he paid,
And love kept a rendezvous
There as they listened to
The nickel serenade.

They danced and sang their cares away
Till the break of dawn.
He told her he would always stay,
But he soon was gone!

Now he's back in his brigade,
So the lonely little maid
Is left all alone and blue,
Cries while she listens to
The nickel serenade.

Serenade for a nickel,
Serenade me till the break of dawn,
All night long,
(scat)
All night long.

Once a soldier met a maid
Right after he was on parade,
They met in the rabble of,
Smoke in the babble of
The nickel serenade.

On that loan the record played
And for the nickels that he paid.
Then love kept a rendezvous
There as they listened to
The nickel serenade.

Now he's back in his brigade,
So the lonely little maid
Is left all alone and blue,
Cries while she listens to
The nickel serenade.
