But It Didn't Mean a Thing

Why are the stars always winkin' and blinkin' above? What makes a fella' start thinkin' of fallin' in love? It's not the season, the reason, it's plain as the moon It's just Elmer's tune What makes a lady of eighty go out on the loose? Why does a gander meander in search of a goose? What puts the kick in a chicken, the magic in June? It's just Elmer's tune Listen, listen, there's a lot you're liable to me missin' Sing it, swing it, any ol' way and any ol' time The hurdy-gurdies, the birdies, the cop on the beat The candy maker, the baker, the man on the street The city charmer, the farmer, the man in the moon All sing Elmer's tune The hurdy-gurdies, the birdies, the cop on the beat The baker and the man on the street The city charmer, the farmer, the man in the moon All sing Elmer's tune They all sing Elmer's tune They all sing Elmer's tune They all sing Elmer's tune --- But It Didn't Mean a Thing - Glenn Miller
