Dir. Harry Bidgood, vocal by Ramon Newton, 20th December 1927:
When you hear yoo-oo-oo-oo
You know I’m waiting for you
We’ve got some loving to do
Under the moon
The skies are starry and bright
The birds are sleeping at night
And there is no one in sight
Under the moon
Close to my heart
I feel your tender embrace
Never to part
Like birds in June
I’m calling yoo-oo-oo-oo
You know I’m waiting for you
We’ve for some loving to do
Under the moon.

As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW (vocal & piano), with Joe Venutti (violin),
Eddie Lang (guitar), Adrian Rollini (bass sax), Vic Berton (drums), June 1927:
An owl and a squirrel watched a happy couple
Spooning 'neath the tree
And they heard him say
Be my honey and I'll be your bumble bee
He whispered listen to me, dearie
I always want you to be near me
Don't ever, ever stay away
When you hear me call "Yoo-Hoo"
When you hear yoo-hoh-hoo-hoo
You'll know I’m waitin' for you
We’ve got some lovin' to do
Under the moon
The skies are starry and bright
The birds are sleepin' at night
And there is no one in sight
Under the moon
Close to my heart
I feel your tender embrace
Never to part
Like birds in June
I’m calling yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
You know I’m waitin' for you
We’ve for some lovin' to do
Under the moon
(Instrumental Break)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
You know I’m waiting for you
We’ve for some lovin' to do
Under the moon
The skies are starry and bright
The birds are sleeping at night
And there is no one in sight
Under the moon
Close to my heart
I feel your tender embrace
Never to part
Like birds in June
When you hear yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
You'll know I’m waiting for you
We’ve got some lovin' to do
Under the moon
That's all!
