There's a house, on the corner On the corner of the street In the house you're the pretty The pretty little gal Who'll make my life complete [Chorus] Tonight, tonight put a light in the window To prove that you love me let it shi-I-ine Tonight, tonight put a light in the window Tonight's the night I'm gonna make you mine Gonna go tell your mother Baby brother, father too Let them know there's no other No there's not another one Who'll love you like I do Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb ditty dumb dumb dumb You pretty little gal you're more than I deserve Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb ditty dumb dumb dumb Gonna climb the stairs, gonna ring that bell Before I lose my nerve Got a ring for your finger, third finger of your hand Put a light in the window 'Cause tonight you're gonna get a golden wedding band [Chorus] Oh tonight's the night I'm gonna make you mine Put a light in the window And my pretty little gal you'll make my life complete
