Lyrics
- Oh! Mister Moon Man
You haven’t acted right
Oh! Mister Moon Man
I’ve been watching you tonight
You tried to steal my little girl away from me
By pointing out the girls with whom I used to be
Oh! Mister Moon Man
Now don’t tell what you see
Oh! Mister Moon Man, hear my plea
I’d whisper in your ear, if you were only here
So, please come down to me
Chorus
Come down, Oh! Mister Moon Man
Come down to me
I’m just as blue as any fellow can be
(I’m lonely)
Come down and tell my sweetheart
That I’ve been true
I know that she’ll believe in you
(Mister moon man)
Come down, Oh! Mister Moon Man
Come down and come down soon
(Mister Moon hear my croon)
And if you promise not to tell on me
I’ll let you keep us company
So, come down, come down Oh! Mister Moon
- Oh! Mister Moon Man
I wonder what you are
Oh! Mister Moon Man
If you were not so far
I’d surely take a trip up there so I could see
Just what it is that’s always peeking down at me
Oh! Mister Moon Man
You never look the same
Oh! Mister Moon Man, who’s to blame
Sometimes you shine so bright
And then you hide your light
Now tell me what’s your game
