Learn To Croon
Mel Torme · Other Songs - Mel Torme
If you want to win your heart's desire.
Sweet melodies of love inspire
Romance.
Just murmur da da dee da da da
And when you do
She'll answer da da dee da da
And nestle closer to you.
Learn to croon
You'll eliminate each rival soon
If you're heading for a sunny honeymoon
Learn to croon.
In days of old when nights were bold
Fair ladies were enraptured
By stirring deeds of chivalry and daring.
But nowadays in other ways
Sweet maids are one encaptured
You'll hear the best authorities declaring
Learn to croon
Ya da da dee da da da da
La da da da dee da da da
La da da da dee
Just murmur da da dee da da da dee
And when you do.
She answer da da dee da da dee dee
And nestle closer to you
Learn to croon
You'll eliminate each rival soon
If you're heading for a sunny honeymoon
Learn to croon.
