Lyrics:
The moon looked gaily down,
He didn't wear a frown,
A happy pair,
Was spooning there,
They sat upon the sands,
And held each other's hands,
For nothing else,
They seemed to care;
He thought “I love her true,
I don't know what to do, or how to tell,
I love her well.”
Soon the boy was asking,
“Sweetheart can you guess,
What would bring me happiness?”
chorus:
Take a cunning little cottage,
You will find there's lots of room,
Take a pretty little garden,
Where sweet flowers bloom;
Take a dainty little girlie,
One who says she's fond of you;
Then you settle down to love her,
That's a picnic for two. (repeat chorus)
The fishes in the sea,
We're swimming 'round in glee,
It seemed absurd,
Upon my word,
And many an ocean wave,
Said “Why don't they behave?
Such foolish talk,
We never heard.”
The girlie's head was bowed,
The moon hid 'neath a cloud,
He said, “What bliss!
They want to kiss”
Soon the moon was winking
With a merry face,
When he saw them embrace.
