VERSE 1 Moon of moons, when you are mine, Bright the night will be. But remember, when you shine, Concentrate on me! Moon of moons, be mine alone, Mine alone-don't laugh, moon! I would never care to own A quarter or a half moon. REFRAIN Moon of my delight, I'm going to put a ring around you- You'll stay home tonight, Scintillating where I found you. When you were a little crescent, Your manners were as soft as wool. Now you're getting effervescent- But maybe that's because you're full. Moon of my delight, If you'd only treat me right, We could have a satellite or two, Moon of my delight. VERSE 2 You're my moon and I'm your earth, Bless me with your gaze- What are lovely evenings worth If I lose your rays? If you ever should depart, I would be a mean cheese. If you leave me, then your heart Must be made of green cheese. REFRAIN Moon of my delight, I'm going to put a ring around you- You'll stay home tonight, Scintillating where I found you. When you were a little crescent, Your manners were as soft as wool. Now you're getting effervescent- But maybe that's because you're full. Moon of my delight, If you'd only treat me right, We could have a satellite or two, Moon of my delight.Sheet music:
