Let’s kiss and hold-hands my darling
There’s no sense in alarming our parents
Not whilst we’re still only just courting.

When we’re older, I’ll buy you diamonds
But for now, let’s hold-hands my darling
And listen to the nightingales and starlings.

There’s no sense in alarming anyone.
We don’t want or need any deterrents
Least-not when we’ve only just started dating.

Darling, let’s swing on the porch till the morning
Let’s kiss and hold-hands my darling
And listen to the nightingales and the starlings.

There’s no sense in alarming our parents
Not whilst we’re still only just courting.
Oh listen, darling, all the crickets have fallen dormant.

Oh, listen to the barn owl cooing
I guess it isn’t yet quite, morning
Oh darling, listen to the nightingales and the starlings
