"Eddie Hodges - I´m gonna knock on your door" (1961)
	
	I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell
	Tap on your window too
	If you don't come out tonight when the moon is bright
	I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do
	I'm gonna knock on your door, call out your name
	Wake up the town, you'll see
	I'm gonna hoo-hoot and howl like a lovesick owl
	Until you say you're gonna come out with me
	Hey, little girl, this ain't no time to sleep
	Let's count kisses 'stead of countin' sheep
	How, how can I hold you near
	With you up there and me down here
	I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell
	Tap on your window too
	If you don't come out tonight when the moon is bright
	I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do

I always think of the Alan Parson's song, but I suppose I shouldn't,
even the first line is different.
