If you've never been in Lovesville (never been in Lovesville)
In the state of ecstasy (the state of ecstasy)
You can't possibly guess
What real happiness can be

Oh, you've got to go through Sweetsville (you've got to go through Sweetsville)
Just a smile or two away (a smile or two away)
Give the whole world a slip
Let's take a heavenly trip today

Oh, the moon you'll behold
They say is silver and gold
And the story is told
That every street in town
Is paved with eiderdown

If we ever get to Lovesville (ever get to Lovesville)
Then my dreams will all come true (my dreams will all come true)
But I don't wanna go
Unless I can go with you

Oh, the moon you'll behold
They say is silver and gold
Oh, the story is told
That every street in town
Is paved with eiderdown

If we ever get to Lovesville (ever get to Lovesville)
Then my dreams will all come true (my dreams will all come true)
But I don't wanna go
Unless I can go with you

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
