About a Quarter To Nine

Bobby Darin


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 …
