I had a conversation
With the little stars above;
They told me somethin' new
That's gonna tickle you!

They're gonna name a holiday
For everyone in love,
A Jack and Jilly day
When you can love your troubles away!

The man in the moon
Is shakin' a broom,
He's sweepin' the Milky Way.
Tell your steady
To get ready
For a sweethearts' holiday.

Birds of the land
Are formin' a band,
And oh, what a tune they'll play!
Congretatin',
Syncopatin',
For a sweethearts' holiday.

Pack up your hugs and kisses
And fall into line,
Be there at seven forty five,
Moonlight savin' time!

So line up your cars
Right under the stars,
Way out where the breezes play.
Tell your steady
To get ready
For a sweethearts' holiday.

The man in the moon
Is shakin' a broom,
He's sweepin' the Milky Way.
Tell your steady
To get ready
For a sweethearts' holiday.

The birds of the land
Are formin' a band,
And oh, what a tune they'll play!
Congretatin',
Syncopatin',
For a sweethearts' holiday.

Pack up, pack up your hugs and kisses
And fall into line,
Be there at seven forty five,
Moonlight savin' time!

So line up your cars
Right under the stars,
Way out where the breezes play.
Tell your steady
To get ready
For a sweethearts' holiday.
