| By the shores of Gitche Gumee
|
| By the shining Big-Sea-Water
|
| Downward through the evening twilight
|
| In the days that are forgotten
|
| From the land of sky blue waters
|
| And I said: Hello Operator, get me Memphis Tennessee
|
| And she said: I know who you’re tryin' to call darlin'
|
| And he’s not home he’s been away
|
| But you can hear him on the airwaves
|
| He’s howlin' at the moon
|
| Yeah this is your country station
|
| And honey this next one’s for you
|
| And all along the highways
|
| And under the big western sky
|
| They’re singin' Ooo oooooo
|
| They’re singin' Wild Blue
|
| And way out on the prairie
|
| And up in the high chaparral
|
| They hear a voice it says: Good evening
|
| This is Captain Midnight speaking
|
| And I’ve got a song for you
|
| Goes somethin' like this:
|
| Starlight Starbright
|
| We’re gonna hang some new stars in the heavens tonight
|
| They’re gonna circle by day
|
| They’re gonna fly by night
|
| We’re goin' sky high. |
| Yoo Hooooo hooo
|
| Yeah yoo hooo Ooo Hooooooooo
|
| So good night ladies
|
| And good night gentlemen
|
| Keep those cards and letters coming
|
| And please don’t call again
|
| Geronimo and little Nancy
|
| Marilyn and John F. dancing
|
| Uncle took the message
|
| And it’s written on the wall
|
| These are pictures of the houses
|
| Shining in the midnight moonlight
|
| While the King sings Love Me Tender
|
| And all along the watchtowers
|
| And under the big western sky
|
| They’re singing Yoo Hooooo
|
| They’re singing Wild Blue
|
| And way, way up there, bursting in air
|
| Red rockets, bright red glare
|
| From the land of sky blue waters
|
| Sent by freedom’s sons and daughters
|
| We’re singing Ooo Hoooooooo
|
| We’re singing Wild Blue
|
| We’re singing Ooo Hoooooooo Ooo Hooooooooo
|
| And dark behind it rose the forest
|
| Rose the black and gloomy pine trees
|
| Rose the firs with cones upon them
|
| And bright before it beat the water
|
| Beat the clear and sunny water
|
| Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water |
