  *++Lyrics:|\\
A pretty girl, a summer’s night,\\
A moon serenely mellow;\\
A fond caress, a loving vow,\\
A kiss, and all is well, oh!\\
Again the girl another night,\\
Same moon--so far all's well, oh!\\
But if we took another look,\\
We'd see another fellow.\\
\\
A shady nook, a babbling brook,\\
Red lips where kisses dwell, oh!\\
"Swear to be true!" "I do! I do!"\\
Pwp! pwp! The lucky fellow!\\
Again the nook,\\
Once more the brook,\\
Same lips--but sad to tell, oh!\\
The one who sips those ruby lips\\
Is quite another fellow.\\
