    They bring the flowers
    That bloom in May.

  • The moon belongs to everyone;
    The best things in life are free.
    The stars belong to everyone;
    They gleam there for you and me.
    • Song: The Best Things in Life are Free
  • If you knew Susie like I know Susie,
    Oh, oh, oh what a girl!

    Oh, oh, Holy Moses, what a chassis!
    • Song: If You Knew Susie
  • You're sent from heaven
    And I know your worth.
    You made a heaven for me here on the earth.

    Promise you won't stray, dear,
    For I love you so, Sonny Boy.
