Lyrics

  1. Still night, moonlight
    Stars bright, some sight
    Boy and girl canoeing
    Cuddling, kissing, cooing
    He croons Love tunes
    All tunes about moons
    But she whispers, “If you’d win me
    Spoon me to this tune

Chorus
I want to spoon to the tune of the Silvery Moon”
There’s joy and bliss when you kiss
To that loving melody
If you’ll be smart to win my heart
Sing no other tune
I want to spoon to the tune of the Silvery Moon

  1. Time spring, wedding
    Bells ring choir sings
    Cupid’s sweet refrain
    Silv’ry moon again
    Years pass Love lasts
    Wee lad and wee lass
    In the nursery you’ll hear
    Buster sing to Mary Jane
