On the first warm day
On the first warm day in May
I'm going to come a calling
& bring you a big bouquet
On the first warm night
That the moon is shining bright
We won't feel much like talking
So kiss me and hold me tight
Then we'll climb the hill
& there beneath the cherry tree
Where all is still
You'll say marry me
Oh marry
Marry me
The very very first warm day
On the first warm day in May
We'll teach the birds & bees
A thing or two
Oh see how I love you
Now on the first warm night
That the moon is shining bright
We won't feel much like talkin'
So kiss me and hold me tight
Then we'll climb the hill
& there beneath the cherry tree
Where all is still
You'll say marry me
Oh marry me
Oh marry
Marry me
The first warm day
Oh the first warm day in May
We'll teach the birds & bees
A thing or two
Oh see how I love you
Cogan & Howard
1953
