Lyrics
1. Lulu Green once had a beau
Bashful sort of coon, you know
Used to call around her home each night
Always talked of stars above
Never mentioned ’bout his love
Lulu didn’t seem to think this right
When he said “the weather’s fine
I wonder what’s the time?”
Miss Lulu looked up at the clock
And sang this tuneful rhyme
CHORUS
“It’s time to hug and kiss
It’s time for joy and bliss
The evening moon above just looks sublime
It’s time for me and you
To start to bill and coo
It’s time to say we’ll name the day
It’s lovin’ time
2. Lulu’s beau whose name was Sam
Sort of stylish son of Ham
In his arms took Lulu and just smiled
“Guess you’re right about the time
Wedding bells will quickly chime
If you’ll be your Sammy’s angel child”
They gazed up at the skies
Looked in each other’s eyes
Then Sammy said, “I guess it’s time
The both of us got wise”
