Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Still night, moonlight
Stars bright, some sight
Boy and girl canoeing
Cuddling, kissing, cooing
He croons Love tunes
All tunes about moons
But she whispers, “If you’d win me
Spoon me to this tune
Chorus
I want to spoon to the tune of the Silvery Moon”
There’s joy and bliss when you kiss
To that loving melody
If you’ll be smart to win my heart
Sing no other tune
I want to spoon to the tune of the Silvery Moon
- Time spring, wedding
Bells ring choir sings
Cupid’s sweet refrain
Silv’ry moon again
Years pass Love lasts
Wee lad and wee lass
In the nursery you’ll hear
Buster sing to Mary Jane
