Also recorded by: Chris Connor


As recorded by ROSEMARY CLOONEY:

On the first warm day
On the first warm day

On the first warm day
On the first warm day in May
I hope you come a-callin'
And bring me a big bouquet
 
On the first warm night
That the moon is shinin' bright
We won't feel much like talkin'
So kiss me and hold me tight
 
Then we'll climb the hill
And there beneath the cherry tree
Where all is still
You'll say marry me
Oh, marry, marry me
 
The first warm day
On the first warm day in May
And we'll teach the birds and bees
A thing or two
Oh, see how I love you

(Instrumental Break)

Then we'll climb the hill
And there beneath the cherry tree
Where all is still
You'll say marry me
Oh, marry, marry me
 
The first warm day
On the first warm day in May
And we'll teach the birds and bees
A thing or two
Oh, see how I love you

On the first warm day
On the first warm day
On the first warm day in May
