Cuddle up a Little Closer
Manual Rivera and His Orchestra Lyrics

On the summer shore, where the breakers roar
In a place by the shore during summertime when the ocean waves are loud

Lovers sat on the glist'ning sand
Two people in love sat on the sparkling sand

And they talked of love while the moon above
As the moon shone above, they spoke about their love for each other

And the stars seemed to understand
The stars appeared to comprehend their love and relationship

Then she grew more cold, and he grew more bold
She became distant, and he became bolder

Till she tho't that they had better go
Until she thought it was best for them to leave

But altho' he heard, he not even stirred
He heard her, but he did not move

Only murmured in tones soft and low
He only whispered quietly in a soft tone

Cuddle up a little closer, lovey mine
Come closer to me, my beloved

Cuddle up and be my little clinging vine
Embrace me and hold me tightly like a vine

Like to feel your cheek so rosy
I like the sensation of your warm and blushing cheek

Like to make you comfy, cozy
I enjoy making you feel comfortable and cozy

'Cause I love from head to toesie, lovey mine
Because I love you completely

Then she deigned to rest on his manly chest
She eventually leaned on his strong chest

Her dear head with its flowing curls
Her beloved head with its long, flowing hair

And she said, "I'd stay on this lap for aye
She expressed that she wants to stay in his embrace forever

How I envy the Capland girls!"
She envies the girls in Capland who can stay in their beloved's lap longer

For Miss Esquimaux, 'mid the ice and snow
For Miss Esquimaux, who lives in cold icy areas

Has no steam-heat when he comes to call
She does not have any form of heat when her lover visits

Not a single glim, so it's up to him
Not even a single light, so it is up to him

To whisper in summer or fall
To speak in a quiet voice during summer or fall
