Starlight, starbright
First little star that I see tonight
I wished that I may and I wished that I might have you
Starlight, starbright
The first little star that I see tonight
I wished that I may and I wished that I might
Have my first little wish tonight

As I was walking down the street
A pretty girl I chanced to meet
Her hair was red and her eyes were blue
I said: "Baby what would you like to do?"

[Instr.]

I said: "Let's go dancin' darlin'"
But she was sad and blue
She said: "I can't dance but dear
What else would you like to do?"

[Instr.]

I said: "My dear let's marry
Let not a moment pass
Let's go and find a preacherman
And make these memories last"
And she said:

Starlight, starbright
The first little star that I see tonight
I wished that I may and I wished that I might have you
Starlight, starbright
First little star that I see tonight
I wished that I may and I wished that I might
Have a first little wish tonight
