Oh the sound of the thing is not a ring it's more like a pleasant purr

And the only sound I hear at night is the sound of my purring air-conditioner

The air is pure and dehumidified thermostatically controlled

Now I have no desire to perspire and that's how progress goes

But the sound of their singing thrilled me as distantly but clearly it rang

Though I never saw their faces and never knew their names

And the gentle breeze brought sweet dreams of sweethearts that I never saw

Who sang You Are My Sunshine in Newport Arkansas
