WE'VE GOT THE MOON AND SIXPENCE
(Oscar Levant (m) Clifford Grey (l) )

as recorded by
Ray Noble & his New Mayfair Dance Orchestra
(vocal - Al Bowlly)
April 21st 1932


Oh, we've got the moon and sixpence
And dreams to make come true.
We've courage to smile at our sorrows,
That's riches enough for two!

We've bread and cheese and kisses,
That ought to see us through.
A new day is ours each tomorrow,
That's a fortune for me and you!

The rain will fall but we should care,
There's always a shelter near.
A rainbow will be ours to share
And skies will be sure to clear!

Oh, we've got the moon and sixpence
And stars to light the blue.
So long as we both have each other,
That's more than enough for two!
