GOT THE MOON IN MY POCKET
>From the film "My Favorite Spy" (1942)
(Music: James Van Heusen / Lyrics: Johnny Burke)


Kay Kyser & His Band (vocal: Harry Babbitt - Film Soundtrack) - 1942
Charlie Spivak & His Orch. (vocal: The Stardusters) - 1942

As recorded by HARRY BABBITT with KAY KYSER & HIS ORCH:

By the way, it might be gay 
If we stepped out this eve
Got the Moon in my pocket
I got a dream up my sleeve

And at seven sharp, my magic carpet 
Will be set to leave
Got the Moon in my pocket
I got a dream up my sleeve

(If you could see things my way)
(You and I'd walk where roses rain)
(Any highway, any sidewalk)
(Is Lovers' Lane)

Well, honey, see me through and I'll show you
It isn't make believe
Got the Moon in my pocket
I got a dream up my sleeve, right up my sleeve

I got the girl (I got the boy)
(It began with Adam and Eve)
I got the Moon in my pocket
Got a dream up my sleeve (Up his sleeve)

As recorded by BING CROSBY:

By the way, it might be gay 
If we stepped out this eve
Got the Moon in my pocket
Got a dream up my sleeve

Seven sharp, my magic carpet 
Will be set to leave
Got the Moon in my pocket
Got a dream up my sleeve

If you could see things my way
You and I'd walk where roses rain
Any highway, any sidewalk
Is Lovers' Lane

Well, honey, see me through
And I'll show you it isn't make believe
Got the Moon in my pocket
I got a dream up my sleeve, right up my sleeve

(Instrumental Break)

By the way, it might be gay 
If we stepped out this eve
I got the Moon in my pocket
Got a dream up my sleeve

And at seven sharp, my magic carpet 
Will be set to leave
Got the Moon in my pocket
Got a dream up my sleeve

If you could see things my way
You and I'd walk where roses rain
Any highway, any sidewalk
Is Lovers' Lane

See me through and I'll show you
It isn't make believe
Got the Moon in my pocket
I got a dream up, it's gettin' steam up
I got a dream up my sleeve
