[Music by Harold Arlen]

Evelina, won’t ya ever take a shine to that moon
Evelina, ain’t ya bothered by the bobolink’s tune
Tell me, tell me how long
Ya, gonna keep delayin’ the day
Don’t ya reckon it’s wrong
Trifflin’ with April this way
Evelina, won’t ya pay a little mind to me soon
Wake up, wake up
The earth is fair, the fruit is fine
But what’s the use o’ smellin’ winter water melon
Clingin’ to another fella’s vine
Evelina, won’t ya roll off that vine an’ be mine?
