MAMA, THAT MOON IS HERE AGAIN
(Ralph Rainger (m) Leo Robin (l) )

as recorded by
Benny Goodman & his Orchestra
November 16th 1937
(radio transcript)


Mama, oh mama,
That moon is here again,
That boy is near again
And I'm just a girl!

Mama, oh mama,
I'm counting up to ten,
I always do that when
My brain starts to whirl!

One, two, three, four,
Five, six, seven, eight,
I can't go on,
My heart is gone!

Oh mama, dear mama,
Please don't wait up for me,
I'm glad I took the key,
That moon's here again!
