Nesting Time in Flatbush



[Verse]
 * (Jim) I've always liked the sort of song you hear so much today,
 * Called "When it's something-or-other time" in some place far away
 * Oh, "Tulip time in Holland", a pleasant time must be,
 * (Jacky) While some are strong for "Apple-blossom-time in Normandy".
 * (Jim) But there's another time and place that makes a hit with me.

[Refrain]
 * When it's nesting time in Flatbush,
 * We will take a little flat,
 * (Jacky) With welcome on the mat
 * (Jim) Where there's room to swing a cat.
 * I'll hang up my hat, I'll hang up my hat,
 * Life will be so sweet with you,
 * (Both) When it's nesting time in Flatbush,
 * In Flatbush Avenue.

[Verse]
 * (Jacky) Our little home may have defects like all these flats in town,
 * It's wiser not to lean on the walls,
 * (Jim) Because they might fall down.
 * (Jacky) It's rather badly lighted, which makes it hard to see.
 * The neighbors play the Gramophone each night till after three.
 * (Jim) But it will be a Paradise if shared, my love, with thee!

[Refrain]
 * When it's nesting time in Flatbush,
 * As you heard me say before,
 * (Jacky) You will see the janitor
 * (Jim) With the girl whom I adore.
 * On the seventh floor, on the seventh floor,
 * We will start to bill and coo,
 * (Both) When it's nesting time in Flatbush,
 * In Flatbush Avenue.
