Ilona
Come with me, Ilona.
I've missed you so much.
How I envy you each evening when work is through
For I have only me to be with, while you have you.
Without you, Ilona
How cold my lonely life has grown.
Are you happy alone, Ilona?
Ilona, my own.
Now that Kodaly is hard at play
We'll never get out of here 'til New Year's Day,
So Happy New Year!
Come with me, Ilona.
Come with me, cherie.
Mistletoe, I long for someone, please, tell me who?
Like some divine divining rod it points straight to you.
Remember, Ilona
Those sunny nights we knew before.
If you just say the word, Ilona,
We'll know them once more.
If it was only up to me
Guess who I would hang upon the Christmas tree?
This is where I came in, amen.
The fox and the chicken are a team again.
Together, Ilona,
We generate a spark that's rare.
Why deny that it's there, Ilona?
You feel it, I know.
Let's help it to glow.
I've missed you so much.
How I envy you each evening when work is through
For I have only me to be with, while you have you.
Without you, Ilona
How cold my lonely life has grown.
Are you happy alone, Ilona?
Ilona, my own.
Now that Kodaly is hard at play
We'll never get out of here 'til New Year's Day,
So Happy New Year!
Come with me, Ilona.
Come with me, cherie.
Mistletoe, I long for someone, please, tell me who?
Like some divine divining rod it points straight to you.
Remember, Ilona
Those sunny nights we knew before.
If you just say the word, Ilona,
We'll know them once more.
If it was only up to me
Guess who I would hang upon the Christmas tree?
This is where I came in, amen.
The fox and the chicken are a team again.
Together, Ilona,
We generate a spark that's rare.
Why deny that it's there, Ilona?
You feel it, I know.
Let's help it to glow.
