Holding hands at midnight
'Neath the starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with one boy
Sigh and 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 taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if
Won't you tell me how?

Holding hands at midnight
'Neath the starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with one boy
And sigh and 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 taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if
Won't you tell me
Please, please tell me
Won't you tell me how?
