AT A LITTLE HOT DOG STAND
Words by Larry Spier, music by Sam Coslow, ©1939.
As recorded by Barry Wood and His Orchestra on Regal Zonophone G23950, 1939.)

Something in the air was continental.
There were moonbeams caressing the sand.
I was feeling young and sentimental
At a little hot-dog stand.
Gallantly I handed her the mustard.
Then she curtseyed and I kissed her hand.
Inwardly my heart was getting flustered
At a little hot-dog stand.
The bubbles in our soda pop just hit us like champagne.
I guess that we had five or six.
But somewhere in the distance came a Viennese refrain,
Or was my fancy playing tricks?
There and then a spark of love ignited.
It was real and the feeling was grand.
To our wedding breakfast you’re invited
At a little hot-dog stand.

There and then a spark of love ignited.
It was real and the feeling was grand.
To our wedding breakfast you’re invited
At a little hot-dog stand.
