Jimmie Lunceford / Madden  1937

Trummy Young (vocal) w Jimmie Lunceford & his Orch  rec 1937


The moon is new, the stars are bright,
Everyrthing's gonna be alright,
Hurry honey hurry, time's a-wastin'!

The nightingales sing from above,
Oh, what a night for makin' love,
Hurry honey hurry, time's a-wastin'!

We'd better get on with our wooing,
We've got to catch up on our billin' and cooin'!

I love that light in your eyes,
I wanna be told little white lies,
Hurry honey hurry, time's a-wastin'!
