Summary

by Jerome Kern Nesting Time in Flatbush (1917)

When it's nesting time in Flatbush, We will take a little flat, (Jacky) With welcome on the mat (Jim) Where there's room to swing a cat. I'll hang up my hat, I'll hang up my hat, Life will be so sweet with you, (Both) When it's nesting time in Flatbush, In Flatbush Avenue. [Verse]
(Jacky) Our little home may have defects like all these flats in town, It's wiser not to lean on the walls, (Jim) Because they might fall down. (Jacky) It's rather badly lighted, which makes it hard to see. The neighbors play the Gramophone each night till after three.
