DANCE BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
(Fred Smith / Cliff Goldsmith)
The Olympics - 1960


Dance.....Dance.....Dance.....Dance

Ask your Mom and your Daddy can you go out tonight
Where the stars are bright, beneath the pale Moonlight
Ask your Mom and your Daddy can you go out tonight
We're gonna dance by the light of the Moon

Ooooh, by the light, by the light of the silvery Moon
We're gonna dance, by the light of the Moon
By the light, by the light of the silvery Moon
We're gonna dance.....Yeeeaaaahhhh

I've got a dollar in my pocket, gonna keep the juke a-rockin
Keep the juke a-rockin' till she tears out her stockin'
Got a dollar in my pocket, gonna keep the juke a-rockin'
Dance by the light of the Moon

Ooooh, by the light, by the light of the silvery Moon
We're gonna dance by the light of the Moon
By the light, by the light of the silvery Moon
We're gonna dance.....Yeeeaaaahhhh

I'm gonna dance with my Dolly with the hole in her stockin'
Knees keep a-rockin', toes keep on boppin'
Gonna dance with my Dolly with the hole in her stockin'
Dance by the light of the Moon

Ooooh, by the light, by the light of the silvery Moon
We're gonna dance by the light of the Moon
By the light, by the light of the silvery Moon
We're gonna dance.....Yeeeaaaahhhh

(Instrumental Break)

Yeeeaaaahhhh

I'm gonna dance with my Dolly with the hole in her stockin'
Knees keep a-knockin', toes keep on boppin'
Gonna dance with my Dolly with the hole in her stockin'
Dance by the light of the Moon

Ooooh, by the light, by the light of the silvery Moon
Come on now, Baby,
By the light of the Moon
By the light, by the light of the silvery Moon
We're gonna dance.....Yeeeaaaahhhh
By the light, by the light of the silvery Moon
Come on now, Sister
By the light.......FADE
