Verse:

Place park, scene dark, Silv'ry moon is shining thru' the trees;

Cast two, me you, Sound of kisses floating on the breeze;

Act one, begun Dialogue, "Where would you like to spoon?"

My cue, with you, Underneath the silv'ry moon.

 

Chorus:

By The Light Of The Silvery Moon, I want to spoon,

To my honey I'll croon love's tune.

Honey moon, Keep a shining in June,

Your silv'ry beams will bring love dreams, We'll be cuddling soon,

By the silvery moon.
