Lyrics
Holdin' hands at midnight 'neath a starry sky Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try

Strollin' with the one girl Sighin' sigh after sigh Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try

Just imagine someone Waiting at the cottage door Where two hearts become one Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you And then takin' that vow Nice work if you can get it And if you get it won't you tell me how?

[very brief instrumental]

Holdin' hands at midnight 'neath a starry sky [last two lines are instrumental]

And strollin' with the one girl Sighing sigh after sigh [last two lines are instrumental]

Just imagine someone Waiting at the cottage door Where two hearts become one Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you And then takin' that vow Nice work if you can get it And if you get it won't you tell me how?
