Lyrics
- What d’ya do in the eve’ning
When you don’t know what to do
Read a book? Play a game?
Ev’ry night is just the same
What d’ya say if I tell you
How to keep from feeling blue
My advice is good to take
And it’s easier to do
Chorus
When you’re all alone, any old night
And you’re feeling out of tune
Pick up your hat, close up your flat
Get out and get under the moon
Underneath the bright silvery light
You’ll be feeling better soon
Pick up your hat, close up your flat
Get out and get under the moon
Look, look, look at the stars above
Look, look, look at those sweeties love
Oh Boy! Give me a night in June
I mean it, all you gotta do any old night
When you’re feeling out of tune
Pick up your hat, close up your flat
Get out and get under the moon
- You’re not alone in the moonlight
Tho’ you may be all alone
By yourself you can feel
Here’s one place where life is real
How can you think about trouble
In that dreamy atmosphere
Walk along and hum a song
And be happy that you’re here
