Verse 1:

G               Em
Night time am a fallin'
G             Em
Everything am still
        G         Cm             G
And the moon am a shining from a-bove
G#dimD7


G          Em
Cupid am a callin'
G              Em
Every Jack and Jill
     A7                             D
It's just about the time for making love
DdimD7


D7
Someone is a-waiting
Am7          D7
All alone forme
G            Em
No more hesi-tating
G                G#dim
I must go and see

How de do dear,

G
Put your arms around me honey
Hold me tight

Huddle up and cuddle up
     Am7      D7
With all your might

        Am7                   D7
Oh babe when you roll dem eyes
G    G#dimAm7         D7 D7+
Eyes that I just idol-ize

G
When they look at me my heart begins to float
D7                              Am7   D7
Then it starts a rockin' like a motor boat
    Am7 G       Em
Oh, oh, I never knew

Any boy like you.

G          Em
Music am a playin'
G             Em
Such a "lovin glide,"
        G           Cm            G
That my feet keep a moving to and fro
G#dimD7


G              Em
And with you a swayin'
G            Em
I'll be satis-fied

To dance un-til we hear the roosters crow
DdimD7

G                Em
Nearest thing to heaven

Is to be with you

For I'm spoony,
D      F#m7 Bm
moony, loon-y
G      A7      D
But my love is true.
