MAYBE IT'S THE MOON
(Richard H. Whiting)
Howard Godfrey & His Waldorfians (vocal: Les Allen) - 1931
Maurice Winnick's Midnight Minstrels (vocal: Harry Bentley) - 1931
G. H. Elliott - 1931
As recorded by: LES ALLEN with
Howard Godfrey & His Waldorfians, October 1931:
Maybe it's the moon, maybe it's your eyes
Maybe just the spell of the June night
Maybe it's the tune sweethearts harmonise
Maybe, who can tell in the moonlight
When you're in my arms, what is it that charms me
Never ever get quite enough of
Maybe it's the moon, blame it on the moon
But I think it's love

Introductory verse as recorded by HARRY BENTLEY
with Maurice Winnick's Midnight Ramblers, 18th August 1931:
Do I need a reason for wanting to pet you
And feeling this way about you
If that needs a reason, I'm going to let you
Decide for yourself what I do
(Transcribed by Mel Priddle - August 2014)
