A moment after dark
Around the park
An old-fashioned gent comes parading
Dressed in funny clothes
But singing as he goes
The lamplighter�s serenade
The old boy loves a talk
With couples on the walk
But when it�s half after love time
He reaches for his sticks
And from his bag of tricks
He lights every star in the sky
And if a lady or a beau should answer "no"
He sprinkles their hearts with his magic
Then he steals away to sing another day
The lamplighter�s serenade...
And if a lady or a beau
Should find the answer "no"
He sprinkles every heart with magic
Then he steals away to sing another day
The lamplighter�s serenade...!
