Here we are, out of cigarettes,
Holding hands and yawning; look
how late it gets,
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early
light,
Too much in love to say good-night.
Say, here we are, in this cozy chair,
Picking on a wishbone from the
Frigidaire,
Two sleepy people, with nothing
to say,
Much to much in love to break away.
Do you the remember the nights we
used to linger in the hall?
Papa didn't like you at all,
But I was crazy 'bout you, baby!
Do you remember the reason why
we married in the Fall?
To rent this little nest, and get
a bit of rest!
Well, here we are, just about the
same,
Gawky little fellow, dizzy little
dame,
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early
light,
Much to much in love to say good-night.
Good-night!
