Willows were swaying

The water was rippling

The froggies were singing

Along with the laughing at the bank



We have the moon to thank

For this lovely scene

We might never have seen

If it hadn't have been for the moon



Why, look at that moon

Away up high, seeing everything

That goes by

Why, look at that moon

Why, why, why, look at the moon

Why, why, why, look at the moon



Sitting in the desert

Beneath a lonesome sky

Cool, my oh my, it would be



If it never been above

That fateful little boy

That one who has beheld true love through history



Why must it start?

Why must lovers part?

Why does the cheatin' go on?

Why have hearts turned to stone?



Why, look at that moon

Away up high, seeing everything

That goes by

Why, look at that moon

Why, why, why, look at the moon

Why, why, why, look at the moon



Why, look at that moon

Ain't it grand!

Why, look at that moon

Helps me understand

Why, look at that moon

Inspirator of many a dream

Why, look at that moon
