ONE, TWO, THREE!

The stars

Are gonna twinkle and shine
This evenin’

‘bout a quarter to nine.

My lovin’ arms
Are gonna tenderly twine
This evenin’ around you

Quarter to nine.

I know I won’t be late
‘cause at half past eight

I’ll be waitin’ there

I’ll be waitin’ where the lane begins

Waitin’ for you on needles and pins.

And then …

The world is gonna be mine
This evenin’

‘bout a quarter to nine.

Get it!

Ahhh, Ah …

Oh!

Oh, the stars

Are gonna twinkle and shine

This very evenin’

‘bout a quarter to nine.

Both these lovin’ arms

Are gonna tenderly twine

All around you

‘round a quarter to nine.

I know I won’t be late

‘cause at half-past eight

I will hurry there
I’m gonna be waitin’ where the lane begins

Waitin’ on you on needles and pins.

And then …

This world is gonna be mine

This evenin’

‘bout a quarter to nine!

Thank you …

From Aces Back to Back CD/DVD – recorded for The Bobby Darin Show (Air Date: Jan. 19, 1973)
