There Ought To Be A Moonlight Saving Time

There Ought To Be A Moonlight Saving Time - Annette Hanshaw

Birdies fly with new ambition

Spring is in their song

Soon you'll find yourself a wishing

Days were not so long

If my thought is not difined

Listen while I speak my mind

There oughta be a moonlight saving time

So I could love that boy of mine

Until the birdies wake and chime good morning

Their oughta be a law in clover time

To keep that moon out overtime

To keep each lover's lane in rhyme till dawning

You'd better hury up hurry up

Hurry up get busy today

You'd better croon a tune croon a tune

To the man up in the moon

And here's what I'd say

There oughta be a moonlight saving time

So I could love that boy of mine

Until the birdies wake and chime good morning

In January the nights are very long

But that's alright

In happy June comes the honeymoon time

Days are longer than the nights

In lovetime season the moon's the reason

For every cuddle and kiss

When days are longer the nights are shorter

Something should be done about this

Oh there oughta be a moonlight saving time

To make the morning glories climb

An hour later on the vine each morning

You sorta need a moon to bill and cool

An old back porch a birch canoe

A parlour lamp in June won't do I'm warning

I've heard the farmer say I'll make hay

While the sun is shining above

But when the day is done night's begun

You can ask the farmer's son it's time to make love

There oughta be a moonlight saving time

So I could love that boy of mine

Until the birdies wake and chime good morning

That's all
