Ilona lyrics

[KODALY]
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

[SIPOS]
Now that Kodaly is hard at play
We'll never get out of here till New Year's Day
So

[ARPAD & SIPOS]
Happy New Year

[KODALY]
Come with me, Ilona

[ILONA, spoken]
No
[KODALY]
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

[ARPAD]
If it was only up to me
Guess who I would hang up on the Christmas tree

[SIPOS]
This is where I came in, Amen
The fox and the chicken are a team again

[KODALY]
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
