A Conneticut Yankee in Jim's Little Court

        Vonay, Vonay, come with me and play;
        My Connecticut Yankee for a day.
        Love me a little, love me a lot;
        Love me any way; please give it a shot.

        You arrived out of the night one day;
        Asked me if you were too early that night. 
        I said you weren't; you were just in time;
        To make my day and be my night's delight.

        Vonay, Vonay, come with me and play;
        My Connecticut Yankee for a day.
        Love me a little, love me a lot;
        Love me any way; please give it a shot.

        Didn't expect you in my dreams that day;
        One sweet gal; my American cousin.
        One to keep in my Canadian heart;
        Definitely not a dime a dozen.
        So sad that night you had to depart.

        Vonay, Vonay, come with me and play;
        My Connecticut Yankee for a day.
        Love me a little, love me a lot;
        Love me any way; please give it a shot.

        Oh to have shared more time with you;
        Beautiful, wonderful, Vonay-for-a day.
        We had what we had for a night not bad;
        I'd like some more but you've gone away.

        Vonay, Vonay, come with me and play;
        My Connecticut Yankee for a day.
        Love me a little, love me a lot;
        Love me any way; please give it a shot.

        A lovely young gal of twenty seven.
        Thought I was a younger man for you.
        Gave me that night a nice bit of heaven.
        You were there for me and I was for you.

        Vonay, Vonay, come with me and play;
        My Connecticut Yankee for a day.
        Love me a little, love me a lot;
        Love me any way; please give it a shot.

        The band was great; we danced all night; 
        If we were wrong it didn't show.
        All warm and fuzzy; no stormy weather;
        Just two warm souls in Canadian snow.

        Vonay, Vonay, come with me and play;
        My Connecticut Yankee for a day.
        Love me a little, love me a lot;
        Love me any way; please give it a shot.

        May have been a touch May-December;
        Come back and visit me one bright day.
        You give me warm times to remember;
        Come make my day my little Vonay.
