Lyrics

1. Place park, scene dark, silvery moon is shining thro’ the trees
   Cast two, me, you, sound of kisses floating on the breeze
   Act one, begun, dialog, “Where would you like to spoon?”
   My cue, with you, underneath the silvery moon

Chorus
By the light of the silvery moon, I want to spoon
To my honey I’ll croon love’s tune
Honeymoon keep a-shining in June
Your silvery beams will bring love dreams
We’ll be cuddling soon, by the silvery moon

2. Act two, scene new, roses blooming all around the place
   Cast three, you, me, preacher with a solemn looking face
   Choir sings, bell rings, preacher: “You are wed forevermore”
   Act two, all through, every night the same encore
