Lyrics
In days of old when nights were bold
Fair ladies were enraptured
By stirring deeds of chivalry and daring
But nowadays in other ways
Sweet maids are won and captured
You’ll hear the best authorities declaring
Refrain:
Learn to croon
If you want to win your heart’s desire
Sweet melodies of Love inspire Romance
Just murmur “Boo boo boo boo boo boo”
And when you do
She’ll answer “Boo boo boo boo boo”
And nestle closer to you
Learn to croon
You’ll eliminate each rival soon
If you’re heading for a sunny honeymoon
Learn to croon
