LAZY MOON
(J Rosamund Johnson / Bob Cole  1903)

as sung by Oliver Hardy
in the 1931 film "Pardon Us"


Lazy moon,
Come out soon,
Make my poor heart be warmer.
Light the way
Bright as day,
For my sweet little charmer.

Now she's to meet me in the lane tonight,
If the sky is bright and clear.
Oh moon, don't keep me waiting here tonight,
Watchin' and a-waiting,
Heart a-palpitating,
Longing for my little lady love.

Lazy moon,
Lazy moon,
Why don't you show your face upon the hill?
Lazy moon,
Come out soon,
You can make me happy if you will.

Now when my lady sees your face a-peeping, (happy face)
Then I know a promise you'll be keeping. (happy face)
Tell me what's the matter, are you sleepin',
Lazy Moon?

Lazy moon,
Lazy moon,
Why don't you show your face upon the hill?
Lazy moon,
Come out soon,
You can make me happy if you will.

Now when my lady sees your face a-peeping,
Then I know a promise you'll be keeping.
Tell me what's the matter, are you sleepin',
Lazy Moon?
