Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight
That wonderful feeling that you want to be kissed
You're strolling through the park, the stars so bright above
You'd love to love somebody, but there's nobody there to love

Did you ever get that longing on a June night
That wonderful longing you can never resist
Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight
That feeling that says you want to be kissed

(Tell me honestly ... did you ever get that feelin' in the moonlight)
(Wonderful feeling that you wanna be kissed)
(You're strolling in the park, stars so bright above)
(You'd love to love somebody, but there's no one to love)

(Did you ever get that longing on a June night)
(Wonderful longing you can't resist)
(Did you ever get that feelin' in the moonlight)
(That feeling that says you wanna to be kissed)

(Instrumental Break)

Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight
That wonderful feeling that you want to be kissed
You're strolling through the park, the stars so bright above
You'd love to love somebody, but there's nobody there to love

Did you ever get that longing on a June night
That wonderful longing you can never resist
Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight
That feeling that says you want to be kissed

(That certain feelin!)
(Feelin' that says you wanna be kissed!)
They said that feeling!
That feeling that says you wanna to be kissed

As recorded by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans in the 1946 film
"Song Of Arizona", with "Around Goes The Lariat" intro:


DALE:
I'm told that Texas Rangers can
Go out and bring in any man
With the lasso....Well, I'll try and see

Now, if you're caught, don't hesitate
To just come up and participate
And that means to sing a song with me

Why, who can say, perhaps you'll be a hit
So, when you're caught, just come up and do your bit
Because you're it

Oh-oh-oh, round and around and around goes the lariat
Round and around, I wonder who it'll be
Round and around and around goes the lariat
Who will sing a song with me

Oh, round and around and around goes the lariat
Round and around, I wonder who it'll be
Around and around and around goes the lariat
Who will sing a song with me

(Laughter and applause)

DALE (Spoken):
Hah-hah-hah, well look who we roped this time, a real cowboy.
Look, cowboy, now that you're here, would you sing a song with me?
Do you know "Did You Ever Get That Feeling In The Moonlight"?
ROY: Sure.
DALE: Fine, all right, boys...

DALE:
Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight
That wonderful feeling that you wanna be kissed
C'mon...
ROY:
You're strollin' in the park, the stars so bright above
BOTH:
You'd love to love somebody, but there's nobody there to love

BOTH:
Did you ever get that longing on a June night
That wonderful longing you can never resist
Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight
That feeling that says you wanna be kissed

DALE:
Did you ever get that feelin' in the moonlight
BOTH:
That wonderful feeling that you wanna be kissed
DALE: You're strolling in the park
ROY: The stars so bright above
BOTH:
You'd love to love somebody, but there's nobody there to love

DALE:
Did you ever get that longing on a June night
BOTH:
That wonderful longing you can never resist
Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight
That feeling that says you wanna to be kissed

DALE: In the moonlight
BOTH: That feeling that says you wanna be kissed
ROY: On a June night
BOTH: That feeling that says you wanna be kissed
