The sheet music:
Lyrics
- Honey dear, this nook is lonely
I have a fear,
Someone is near, let’s move from here
I would feel funny if someone were to hear
Sweet nothings that you whisper in my ear
The moon is shining, folks can’t help but know
Bid him “good-night” and then, perhaps he’ll go
Chorus:
Good-night, good-night Mister Moon
Hide your face so we can spoon
We just can’t make love in front of you
Don’t you see that we are bashful too?
Good-night, good-night Mister Moon
Close your bright eyes
Won’t you go to sleep?
And don’t you dare peep
Good-night, (good-night, good-night)
Mister Moon
- Honey dear, the winds are blowing
I have a fear
Raindrops are near, it’s lightning dear
I can hear thunder, we must run home quick dear
‘Cause mother doesn’t worry when you’re near
The moon’s so angry, tears he has to shed
He know just what we meant when we both said
