Lyrics
You say I appeal to you
And I don’t want to doubt it
But, if I really appeal to you
Why don’t you do something about it?
Chorus
How would you like to kiss me in the moonlight
How would you like to hold me in your arms
When your arms are so inviting
How can you keep from turning on your charms
Wouldn’t you like my head upon your shoulder
Isn’t that where you feel it ought to be
While the night is so exciting
How would you like to fall in love with me
I’ve got what you want
Darling, what’s more
You’ve got what I want
So what are we waiting for?
Nothing is so romantic as a June-night
‘Specially when the devil’s in your eye
How would you like to kiss me in the moonlight
You wouldn’t like it half as much as I
