Elmer’s Tune

As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on August 11th 1941 with Ray Eberle and the Modernaires.
Written by by Elmer Albrecht, Sammy Gallop and Dick Jurgens.
 

Why are the stars always winkin' and blinkin' above,
What makes a fellow start thinkin' of fallin' in love?
It's not the season, the reason is 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 be 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 sing Elmer’s tune!
 


Ev’rything I Love

As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on November 3rd 1941 with Ray Eberle and the Choir.
Written by Cole Porter.  (From the Musical Production „Let’s Face It“)
 

You are to me ev'rything,
My life to be, ev'rything,
When in my sleep you appear
Fair skies of deep blue appear
Each time our lips touch again
I yearn for you oh! so much again
You are my favorite star,
My haven in heaven above
You are ev'rything I love...

(instrumental interlude)

You are to me ev'rything
You are ev’rything I love!
