Moon of My Delight Lyrics by Betty Comden

Songs from “Treasure Girl” and “Chee-Chee”

0

[Verse 1]
Moon of moons, when you are mine
Bright the night will be
But remember, when you shine
Concentrate on me
Moon of moons, be mine alone
Mine alone, don't laugh, moon
I could never care to own
A quarter or a half moon
[Chorus]
Moon of my delight
I'm gonna put a ring around you
You'll stay home tonight
Scintillating where I found you
When you were a little crescent
Your manners were as soft as wool
Now you're getting effervescent
But maybe that's because you're full
Moon of my delight
If you'd only treat me right
We could have a satellite or two
Moon of my delight
[Verse 2]
You're my moon and I'm your earth
Bless me with your gaze
What are lovely evenings worth
If I lose your rays?
If you ever should depart
I would be a mean cheese
If you leave me, then your heart
Must be made of green cheese
[Chorus]
Moon of my delight
I'm gonna put a ring around you
You'll stay home tonight
Scintillating where I found you
When you were a little crescent
Your manners were as soft as wool
Now you're getting effervescent
But maybe that's because you're full
Moon of my delight
If you'd only treat me right
We could have a satellite or two
Moon of my delight
