Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do to you
You’re in love
Your heart’s fluttering all day long
You only stutter cause your poor tongue
Just will not utter the words
I love you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Wait a while
Till a little moonbeam comes peepin’ through
He’ll get bold
You can’t resist him
All you’ll say
When you have kissed him is
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
