LOVE, MYSTERY AND ADVENTURE
(Dave Mann (m) Bob Hilliard (l) )

as recorded by Jo Stafford
with Paul Weston & his Orchestra
1951


It's a wonderful night for love, mystery and adventure,
Somethin' out of the ordinary really ought to happen tonight!
It's a dynamite night for love, mystery and adventure,
We can do our investigatin' while there's not a soul in sight!

Desperados love the quiet
Round about twelve o'clock,
And if there's action, we might spy it
From a secret nook on a ferry boat dock!

It's a wonderful night for love, mystery and adventure,
There'll be thrills and excitement with a xxxxx? moon above!
But if we can't find the mystery and adventure,
It's still a wonderful wonderful night for love!

Desperados love the quiet
Round about twelve o'clock,
And if there's action, we might spy it
From a secret nook on a ferry boat dock!

It's a wonderful night for love, mystery and adventure,
There'll be thrills and excitement with a xxxxx? moon above!
But if we can't find the mystery and adventure,
It's still a wonderful wonderful night for love!
