Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)
I'm keepin' my eye peeled on you
What's the good word tonight?
Are you gonna be mellow tonight?
Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)
Can't you see my little doggie and me
We're as happy as a christmas tree
Headin' for the one I love (the one I love)
I'm gonna pop her the question, that question
Do you Darlin', do ya do?
It'll be easy, so easy
If I can only bank on you
Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)
I'm tellin' you why, now you know
Keep it in mind tonight
Keep brushin' those clouds from sight
Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)
Don't fail me when I'm needin' you most
Hang a moon above her hitching post
Hitch me to the one I love
(buttermilk sky)
------ orchestral interlude ------
(gonna pop her the question, the question
Darlin', do you do?
It'll be easy, so easy)
If I can only bank on you
Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)
I'm tellin' you why, now you know
Keep it in mind tonight
Keep brushin' those clouds from sight
Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)
Don't fail me when I'm needin' you most
Hang a moon above her hitching post
Hitch me to the one I love
(buttermilk sky)
You can if you try
Don't tell me no lie
(will you be mellow and bright tonight?
Oh, butermilk sky!)
James Kern Kyser, conosciuto semplicemente come Kay Kyser, è stato un musicista e conduttore radiofonico statunitense nato a 1905 a New York City. Noto per il suo stile musicale swing, ha guidato la sua orchestra, i "Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge", durante gli anni quaranta, diventando una delle figure più popolari della musica americana dell'epoca. La sua trasmissione radiofonica, "The Kay Kyser Show", era un grande successo e contribuì a diffondere il genere swing in tutto il paese. Kyser era noto per la sua personalità brillante e il suo talento musicale, oltre che per l'uso di gag comiche e giochi musicali nella sua trasmissione. Tra i brani più rappresentativi della sua orchestra ricordiamo "I'll Never Smile Again", "Tuxedo Junction" e "Chattanooga Choo Choo". La sua carriera radiofonica si è protratta fino agli anni cinquanta, quando ha iniziato a dedicarsi ad altri progetti musicali.
