TAKE A LESSON FROM THE LARK
>From the film "Shoot The Works" (1934)
(Leo Robin / Ralph Rainger)


Ben Bernie & His Merry Lads (Film Soundtrack) - 1934
Todd Rollins & His Orch. (vocal: Chick Bullock) - 1934


Take a lesson from the lark
He warbles in the dark before the break of day
Take a lesson from the lark
And when you're in the dark sing the gloom away

Since the time of Noah's Ark
There never was a lark without his lady fair
Take a lesson from the lark
And life can be a lark, free from every care

You don't hear him crying out loud
Under the cloudy skies
You don't find him staying out late
He's got a mate who's wise

Build a cosy little nest 
And love will do the rest when night appears above
Take a lesson from the lark
And nestle in the dark beside the one you love
