The Lamplighters Serenade

A moment      after dark around t     he   park,

An old-fashion gent    comes parading,

Dressed in funny clothes but singing as he goes,

The Lamplighter’s Ser –     e – n     ade.

The old boy loves to talk with couples on the walk,

But when it’s half after love time,

He reaches for his sticks and from his bag of tricks,

He lights every star in the sky.

And if a      lady or a beau shoul     d a  nswer “No,”

He sprinkles the   ir hearts with his magic,

Then he steals away to sing another day

The Lamplighter’s Ser –     e – n     ade.
