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
