VERSE 1
Moon of moons, when you are mine,
Bright the night will be.
But remember, when you shine,
Concentrate on me!
Moon of moons, be mine alone,
Mine alone-don't laugh, moon!
I would never care to own
A quarter or a half moon.

REFRAIN
Moon of my delight,
I'm going to put a ring around you-
You'll stay home tonight,
Scintillating where I found you.
When you were a little crescent,
Your manners were as soft as wool.
Now you're getting effervescent-
But maybe that's because you're full.
Moon of my delight,
If you'd only treat me right,
We could have a satellite or two,
Moon of my delight.

VERSE 2
You're my moon and I'm your earth,
Bless me with your gaze-
What are lovely evenings worth
If I lose your rays?
If you ever should depart,
I would be a mean cheese.
If you leave me, then your heart
Must be made of green cheese.

REFRAIN
Moon of my delight,
I'm going to put a ring around you-
You'll stay home tonight,
Scintillating where I found you.
When you were a little crescent,
Your manners were as soft as wool.
Now you're getting effervescent-
But maybe that's because you're full.
Moon of my delight,
If you'd only treat me right,
We could have a satellite or two,
Moon of my delight.
