 Holdin' hands at midnight

 'neath a starry sky

 Nice work if you can get it

 And you can get it if you try

 

 Strollin' with the one girl

 Sighin' sigh after sigh

 Nice work if you can get it

 And you can get it if you try

 

 Just imagine someone

 Waiting at the cottage door

 Where two hearts become one

 Who could ask for anything more?

 

 Loving one who loves you

 And then takin' that vow

 Nice work if you can get it

 And if you get it, won't you tell me how?

 

 Holdin' hands at midnight

 'neath a starry sky

 

 And strollin' with the one girl

 Sighing sigh after sigh

 

 Just imagine someone

 Waiting at the cottage door

 Where two hearts become one

 Who could ask for anything more?

 

 Loving one who loves you

 And then takin' that vow

 Nice work if you can get it

 And if you get it, won't you tell me how?
