It is first referred to by name in the scene where Klipspringer is brought out by Gatsby to play a song on the piano for Daisy. Contrary to the other song that is referred to in the next page, this is the song that Klipspringer actually plays on the piano when Daisy is at Gatsby's residence.

"Just a love nest,
Cozy with charm,
Like a dove nest,
Down on a farm."

"Ancient Jack and Jill are gone,
Yet return again."

"We've danced the whole night through
And daylight soon will be dawning
Just one more waltz with you
That melody so entrancing
Seems to be made for us two"

"My heart keeps beating in time
Sounds like an old sweet love tune
Say that there soon will be a honeymoon"

The song is first introduced when Gatsby calls over Klipspringer to play the song on the piano for Daisy. The song played by Klipspringer is not actually this one, but The Love Nest. In this scene, it is the start of when Daisy has come to Gatsby's residence.

"In the morning,
In the evening,
Ain't we got fun-"

"One thing's sure and nothing's surer
The rich get richer and the poor get-children.
In the meantime,
In between time-"

The song goes in accordance with the somber mood of the scene and how Daisy feels about Gatsby. She begins to show interest in Gatsby, and the song even directly brings up a line about the past: one that would directly relate to Daisy and Gatsby. Her interest becomes quite open, to the point where Nick is able o decipher Tom's jealousy about it later on. The song represents how Daisy feels, and gives more meaning to why she is even at the party.

The song's lyrics are a sharp contrast to the events that have happened in this chapter. Based on the tone of the song, there is a vibrant and sort of flippant mood that is portrayed. Fitzgerald most likely put in the song to emphasize that contrast. Throughout this chapter, there is almost a whiplash of atmosphere built by Gatsby in his reactions to how Daisy is acting in his residence. The song does not fit what is happening, highlighting the more-or-less awkward ambiance that is made through having the story relayed through Nick.

The song was most likely included to show Daisy's view again. At this point in the story, she is more or less reconciling with Gatsby about their past together. This specific chapter is very emotionally charged for both Gatsby and Daisy, both of them thinking about their past together and what has led to where they are now. Daisy even sobs in this chapter, which shows how affected she is by this meeting, which Gatsby mirrors in his hasty and anxious nature with Nick.

Throughout The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald uses music and songs to bring more meaning to scenes and events. Music is used to bring nuance and possibly a relatable quality to the readers of the time that The Great Gatsby was published.

“I wish somebody would have told me, babe
Someday, these will be the good old days
All the love you won't forget
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
Someday soon, your whole life's gonna change
You'll miss the magic of these good old days”

The song is reminiscing about the past, which Gatsby and Daisy seem to do a lot. Gatsby in particular, is extremely focused on the past, and the song correlated to this in it’s sort of melancholy lines about how different life was in the past compared to the present. Throughout Gatsby’s attempts to woo Daisy, he is utterly enamoured with their past together, how they were before. And it’s something that he yearns for. This song would convey the

“Where should we run to?
We got the world in our hands and we're ready to play”

"But just for the minute, let's push all our troubles aside
Alright, 'cause we got the keys to the universe
Inside our minds, yeah, we got the keys, babe”

This song seems more accustomed to the part atmosphere and the way that people are living in The Great Gatsby. Other than the multitudes of people attending Gatsby’s parties, most of the people are self absorbed and are only caring about themselves. The song embodies this with the “you live only once” attitude that seems to permeate the way people are living. They only care about themselves and their images in order to further themselves for their own goals. Be it through dishonesty or manipulation, which is a prominent theme and motif throughout the book.

“Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me”

The song talks about the past, and how Gatsby and Daisy have both changed. Gatsby is chasing after an image of Daisy, rather than her as an actual person. He’s obsessed with their past, of who she was in the past, and who she is clearly not today. He wishes for her to denounce her relationship with Tom, but after all these years, she has changed. It’s something that Gatsby clearly does not recognize. The song calls back to the past and brings it back to the future in terms of how Gatsby sees Daisy.
