There's honey on the moon tonight
It's a sin if we waste it
Come along and let's taste it
Had it ordered for you

There's honey on the moon tonight
Though a little off season
It is there for a reason
For a dream to come true

We don't need a boat
A motor car or a bus
Just any old bench in any old park
Is made to order for us

There's honey on the moon tonight
And I'm out to enjoy it
What a night to enjoy it
With a honey like you

There's honey on the moon tonight,
It's a sin if we waste it,
Come on and let's taste it,
Had it ordered for you, yes baby!

There's honey on the moon tonight,
Though a little off season,
It is there for a reason,
For a dream to come true, my my!

We don't need a boat, a motor car or a bus, nay nay, no no!
Just any old bench in the park is made to order for us!

There's honey on the moon tonight,
And I'm out to enjoy it, how about you baby?
What a night to enjoy it, uh-hmm, yeah,
With a honey like you, send me, send me baby, send me!

Baby, I thought you was in my car!
You ain't in my car!
Well alright then come on over here, yes!

We don't need a boat, a motor car or a bus,
No a bus is a subject to breakdown baby,
Come on let's get this bench over here!
Yeah any old park, yeah, is made to order for us!

There's honey on the moon tonight,
Yeah and I'm out to enjoy it, yes yes!
What a night to enjoy it, yes yes,
With a honey like you!
Oh honey, honey, honey, honey, oh honey, it's you!
Well alright then!
