[PW] Re: ? "Swinging in a hammock" poem or song

[Karen Weiss]

I found a song "Swingin' in a Hammock" by Tot Seymour, Chas. O'Flynn, 
and Pete Wendling at the following URL

http://nla.gov.au/nla.mus-an6089846

The chorus goes:

Swingin' in a hammock
Underneath the trees
Just you and I together
Swayin' in the breeze
And we'll be listnin' to a bluebird
Singin' up above
He says he'll be the lookout
While we're makin' love
As we go high, low
Playin' peek-a-boo with all the stars up in the sky
High, low, in a cradle made of dreams we'll watch the clouds roll by
Nearest thing to heaven that I ever knew
Is swingin' in the hammock
All alone with you.

I originally found it on the Levy Sheet Music Collection site but the 
sheet music was not scanned there.  So I searched with the title and 
composer and found the sheet music at the National Library of 
Australia.
