the lamplighter’s serenade

Glenn Miller Orchestra

A moment after dark
Around the park
An old-fashioned gent comes parading
Dressed in funny clothes
But singing as he goes
The lamplighterââ?¬â?¢s serenade

The old boy loves a talk
With couples on the walk
But when itââ?¬â?¢s half after love time
He reaches for his sticks
And from his bag of tricks
He lights every star in the sky

And if a lady or a beau should answer "no"
He sprinkles their hearts with his magic
Then he steals away to sing another day
The lamplighterââ?¬â?¢s serenade...

And if a lady or a beau
Should find the answer "no"
He sprinkles every heart with magic
Then he steals away to sing another day
The lamplighterââ?¬â?¢s serenade...!
