MAKIN' FACES AT THE MAN IN THE MOON
(Hoffman / Washington / Rich / Smith)

as recorded by The Boswell Sisters
with The New Yorkers conducted by Victor Young
August 17th 1931 New York


Ev'ry night you'll find me
Feelin' lonely as can be,
I'm makin' faces at the man in the moon
'Cause he hasn't done right by me!

Feel just like a hermit,
Not a hope of company!
I'm makin' faces at the man in the moon
'Cause he hasn't done right by me!

Everywhere I see a happy twosome, (scat);
When will that old moon get wise
And do somethin' for me?

Why does Mister Cupid
Still remain a mystery?
I'm makin' faces at the man in the moon
'Cause he hasn't done right by me!
