Req: How Will I Know My Love (Annette Funicello?)

From: GUEST,KickyC

Does anyone remember the lyrics from the Disney serial "Annette" that was on the Mickey Mouse Club? She sang a really pretty song while the characters were on a hayrack ride. I think it might have been called "How Will I Know My Love?"

What I can remember of it is this:

How will I know my love?
How will I know my darling?
Whipoorwill give me a sign,
How will I know he's mine?

How will I know my love,
When he walks through the pine wood?
Please Mr. Moon up above,
How will I know my love?

Anyway, that's what I remember. I am not sure if it is right.

Aw, Annette was my first love. I think your memory is pretty close on the lyrics, but I can't find a text. Click here for a Google search on the song. I didn't check all the sites - maybe it's in one of those links.

No lyrics I can find either, but I too had it on for Annette, but I was fickle and turned my preteen lust towards Hayley Mills................

Good luck! You have already gotten twice the response here than I got when I wrote Disney directly for lyrics/music for a different song.

I meant to say 200 percent more response.

I suspect these words won't be found on the 'net. But -- you can always spend $25 for The Disney Fake Book and get lots of lyrics. (or go to a large music store and steal a peek)

Disney is pretty active about protecting anything it might possibly make a fraction of a percent profit from in the future centuries...

KickyC,

You got it right as far as you went. Here's the whole thing.

HOW WILL I KNOW MY LOVE
As sung by Annette Funicello

How will I know my love?
How will I know my darlin'?
Whippoorwill, give me a sign.
How will I know he's mine?

How will I know my love
When he walks through the pinewood?
Mockingbird tell me for true:
Help me to find him, do.

Will I meet him in the autumn?
Will the hills be green with spring?
Will he take my hand in summer,
And make me a clover ring?

How will I know my love?
How will I know my darlin'?
Oh, Mr. Moon up above,
How will I know my love?

(Instrumental break)

Will he take my hand in summer
And make me a clover ring?

How will I know my love?
How will I know my darlin'?
Oh, Mr. Moon up above,
How will I know my love?
Oh, Mr. Moon up above,
How will I know my love?


Transcribed from the original 7-inch 45-rpm recording on the Disneyland label. I was a teenager when this song was popular and, like a million other guys that age, I had a mad crush on Annette.

...guess we'd better not harvest this one for the Digital Tradition. We wouldn't want to get Mick the Rodent mad at us....

I LOVE this song (which I listened to over and over as a little girl) and still remember the chorus to this day. I was just wishing I could remember the entire song, so thank you for posting it! It really takes me back to a special part of my childhood.

My fiancee was named for Annette Funicello. She hates her name. Her name matters not a whit to me. I love her even if she was called Fred.

Darlene (Gillespie) was my favorite; she recorded "Buckwheat Cakes" from a Disney MMC flick, maybe "Westward Ho The Wagons"?

I remember the chorus:

Buckwheat cakes, buckwheat cakes
Along with crispy bacon
Yes, it is your buckwheat cakes
That set my heart to achin'

Thank you, oldhippie! Darlene was my fave, too. "Corky and White Shadow," ahhh...

Out in the woods where the chipmunks live
Uncle Dan has lots to give
He can tame an orn'ry fox
When he plays away on his old squeezebox
Uncle Dan
Happy man
In his easy-goin' way...

Her later life, as I recall, was sad.
