Let Us Build a Little Nest



[Verse]
 * MITZI. Let us play the game of hide-and-seek,
 * If you promise me that you will not peek,
 * And I will do the hiding.
 * KIDDIES. Tell us first where you'll be hiding.


 * MITZI. That's not fair for cheating is a shame,
 * We will have to play some other game.
 * GIRL. What's it's [sic] name?
 * BOY. What's it's name?


 * MITZI. It's a game where we can hug and kiss.
 * BOY. Me for this.
 * GIRL. Oh what bliss.
 * MITZI. It's a game too good to miss,


 * I played it years and years ago,
 * With someone whom I used to know.

[Refrain]
 * Let us build a little nest
 * While we're here together,
 * Like little birdies do
 * When April skies are blue.


 * (SHE) We can snuggle up and rest
 * In the wint'ry weather
 * (BOTH) And if we're good as little birdies should be
 * Then may be we can have a family.

[Verse]
 * MITZI. Let's pretend now that it's late at night,
 * And then I come in and turn out your light,
 * 'Cause I am Mister Sandman.
 * KIDDIES. Ain't never was no Sandman.


 * MITZI. Then I'll tuck you in your trundle bed,
 * And like dear mama kiss each sleepy head.
 * GIRL. Who said?
 * BOY. Sleepy head.


 * MITZI. If your ma should spank you would you cry?
 * BOY. Bet your life.
 * GIRL. Bet your life.
 * MITZI. And believe me so would I,


 * Of all the games I like one best,
 * The one where we can build a nest.

[Refrain]
 * Let us build a little nest
 * While we're here together,
 * Like little birdies do
 * When April skies are blue.


 * We can snuggle up and rest
 * In the wint'ry weather
 * (BOTH) And if we're good as little birdies should be
 * Then may be we can have a family.
