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?
<brief instrumental>
Holdin' hands at midnight
'neath a starry sky
<last two lines are
instrumental>
And strollin' with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
<last two lines are
instrumental>
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?
