(Mack David / Al Hoffman / Jerry Livingston)

Spike Jones & his City Slickers - 1947
(vocal: The Tailwaggers / Dr. Horatio Q. Birdbath / Sir Frederick Gas)

Also recorded by: The Modernaires.


The moon was like gold
As they strolled down the lane
Each star in the sky
Heard him sigh this refrain
This is our hour for love
Our hour to dream
Said the curly Pekingese
To his girlie Pekingese
Let's be gay as we say woof-woof

This is our hour for love
Our hour to scheme
Said the little puppy-he
To the little puppy-she
Let us cling and sing woof-woof

I can picture you and me forever
Chasing pussycats together

This is our hour for love,
Our hour to dream
We will raise a family
Maybe twenty-two or three
They'll be our, our, our

(Musical Break)

This is our hour for love
Our hour to dream
You're my curly Pekingese
I'm your girlie Pekingese
Let's be gay and say woof-woof

This is our hour for love
Our hour to scheme
I'm your little puppy-he
I'm your little puppy-she
Let us cling and sing woof-woof

I can picture you and me forever
Chasing pussycats together

This is our hour for love
Our hour to dream
We will raise a family
Maybe twenty-two or three
They'll be our, our, our
