Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do to you
You’re in love
Your heart’s fluttering all day long
You only stutter cause your poor tongue
Just will not utter the words
’I love you’
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
When a little moonbeam comes peepin’ through
You’ll get bored
You can’t resist her
And all you’ll say
When you have kissed her is
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
If by chance you have a bashful sweetheart
Moonlight will teach hime to care
and the greatest lover will discover
That he's got time for just one more affair
(Comedy Interlude - Impressions etc.)
(Orchestral Break)
You’ll get bored
You can’t resist her
And all you’ll say
When you have kissed her is
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
