GOOD NIGHT, GOOD NEIGHBOUR
(Frank Loesser / Arthur Schwartz)

Geraldo & His Orchestra (vocal: Len Camber)

The lady came from South America
And she was lovely to see
When she arrived in North America
They introduced her to me
And so I showed her the town
And I was such a gallant guy
But when the moon had gone down
I sigh

Good night, good neighbour
This evening with you has charmed me so
Tomorrow those Latin eyes aglow
Will haunt me all day

Good night, good neighbour
We’re back at you door and now we kiss
Though down in Brazil you’d frown at this
You’ll soon learn our way

I know you’re dreaming of a homeland
So very dear, land of many charms
Although you’ll find another homeland
Right over here, right over here in my arms

Good night, good neighbour
Though I have no soft guitar to play
Come close to my heart and hear it say
Good neighbour, good night.

Good night, good neighbour
Good neighbour, good night.
