Verse:
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 got to 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.
