Lyrics
- Give me a night in June
Give me a summer moon
Give me a hammock built for two
Gee, it’s mighty cosy
Side by side with you
Rockin’ up in the air
Rockin’ away our care
Rockin’ until our hopes come true
Everything looks rosy
How can we be blue
Chorus
Swingin’ in a hammock
Underneath the trees
Just you and I together
Swayin’ in the breeze
And we’ll be listnin’ to a bluebird
Singin’ up above
He says he’ll be the lookout
While we’re makin’ love
As we go high low
Playin’ peek-a-boo
With all the stars up in the sky
High low in a cradle made of dreams
We’ll watch the clouds roll by
Nearest thing to heaven that ever I knew
Is swingin’ in a hammock
All alone with you
- Where do we glide away
Where do we hide away
Where do we go when shadows fall
While the rest are dancing
We hear Cupid’s call
Calling from lovers lane
Calling us once again
Calling us where we never stall
Talk about romancin’
Sweetest place of all
