[1st verse:]

The moon above am shining, love, I'm out here waiting

Don't be so shy, I can't see why you're hesitating

Come out and meet me, lady

You are my dark-eyed baby

Come, love, don't be afraidy

My little honey, do

Here while the stars am peeping

And all the world am sleeping

My promise I'll be keeping, love, to you



[chorus:]

Queenie, my own

I'll build a nice little home

Where we can live all alone

And from you I'll never roam

Say you'll be mine

Oh! honey, please don't decline

And all the stars will then shine for you and me



[2nd verse:]

Impatiently I wait for thee here in the moonlight

Don't be afraid, my dusky maid, this is a spoonlight

Now, don't be hesitating

The birds above are mating

My love, I'll be relating

To you my dusky queen

Think, dear, of what you're missing

Love and lots of kissing

Come out, my love, and listen to my plea
