Ilona

Come with me, Ilona

I've missed you so much

How I envy you each evening

When work is through

For I have only me to be with

While you have you

Without you, Ilona

How cold my lonely life has grown

Are you happy alone, Ilona?

Ilona, my own

Now that Kodaly is hard at play

We'll never get out of here till New Year's Day

So

Happy New Year

Come with me, Ilona

No

Come with me, cherie

Mistletoe, I long for someone

Please tell me who

Like some divine divining rod

It points straight to you

Remember, Ilona

Those sunny nights we knew before

If you just say the word, Ilona

We'll know them once more

If it was only up to me

Guess who I would hang up on the Christmas tree

This is where I came in, Amen

The fox and the chicken are a team again

Together, Ilona

We generate a spark that's rare

Why deny that it's there, Ilona?

You feel it, I know

Let's help it to glow
