Night time am a-fallin', everything is still
And the moon am a shinin' from above
Cupid am a callin' every Jack and Jill
It's just about the time for making love
Someone is a-waiting all along for me
No more hesitating, I must go and see
"How dee do, Dear, it's with you dear
That I love to be"

Put your arms around me, Honey, hold me tight
Huddle up and cuddle up with all your might
Oh! Oh! Won't you roll those eyes?
Eyes that I just idolize
When they look at me, my heart begins to float
Then it starts a rockin' like a motor boat
Oh! Oh! I never knew any girl like you

Music am a-playin' such a "Loving Glide"
That my feet keep a moving to and fro
And with you a-swayin', I'll be satisfied
To dance until we hear the roosters crow
I love seven 'leven, I love chicken too
Nearest thing to heaven is to be with you
For I'm spoony, moony, loony, but my love is true

Put Your Arms Around Me Honey, hold me tight
Huddle up and cuddle up with all your might
Oh! Oh! Won´t you roll those eyes
Eyes that I just idolize
When they look at me, my heart begins to float
Then it starts a rockin´ like a motorboat
Oh! Oh! I never knew any girl like you

As sung by Judy Garland with Van Johnson in

Put your arms around me, honey, hold me tight.
Huddle up and cuddle up with all your might.
Oh, babe...won't y....

GARLAND:
[Spoken] Excuse me. Would you like a little help?

JOHNSON:
[Spoken] All right.

GARLAND:
[Spoken] Fine. From the beinning?...From the beginning.
I'll sing the verse...Introduction, please. Key of B flat.
Here we go....

Nightime am a-fallin', everything is still
And the moon am a-shinin' from above
Cupid am a-callin' every Jack and Jill
It's just about the tme for makin' love
Someone is a-waitin' all alone for me
No more hesitatin', I must go and see
How d'ye do, Dear? It's with you, Dear
That I long to be...

Put your arms around me, honey, hold me tight
Huddle up and cuddle up with all your might
Oh, Babe, won't you roll them eyes
Eyes that I just idolize
When they look at me, my heart begins to float
Then it stars a-rockin' like a motorboat
Oooh-oooh, I never knew any boy like you

(Cut-away Scene)

...............all your might
Oh, Baby, won't you roll your eyes
Eyes that, I just idolize your eyes
And when they look at me, my heart begins to float
Then it starts a-rockin' like a motorboat
Oooh-oooh, I never knew any boy like you
....15 cents, please
