A moment after dark around the park. An old-fashion gent comes parading. Dressed in funny clothes but singing as he goes. The Lamplighter's Serenade. .
(1945) Paul Francis Webster, Hoagy Carmichael. . Memphis in June. A shade veranda under Sunday blue sky. Memphis in June. And my cousin Miranda she's making a blueberry pie.
Baltimore Oriole. Took one look at that mercury, forty below. No life for a lady. To be draggin' her feathers around in the snow. Leaving me blue, off she flew.

It's watermelon weather. That summer kind of weather. When people get together and sing. . It's the time of year. The stars seem to dance with laughter.
Every night while I'm undressin'. Sayin' my prayers and lightly confessin'. I can hear hot licks. From a set of drums upstairs. . Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there.
