By The Light Of The Silvery Moon (07-13-42) - Fats Waller

By the light of the silvery moon

I want to spoon

To my honey I’ll croon love’s tune

Honey moon, keep a-shinin' in June

Your silvery beams will bring love’s dreams

We’ll be cuddlin' soon

By the silvery moon

Place — park, scene — dark

Silvery moon is shining through the trees

Cast — two, me — you

Summer kisses floating on the breeze

Act one, be done

Dialog — where would ya like to spoon?

My cue, with you

Underneath the silvery moon

By the light of the silvery moon

I want to spoon

To my honey I’ll croon love’s tune

Honey moon, keep a-shinin' in June

Your silvery beams will bring love’s dreams

We’ll be cuddlin' soon by the silvery moon

Act two, Scene — new

Roses blooming all around the place

Cast — three, You — me

Preacher with a solemn-looking face

Choir sings, bell rings

Preacher: You are wed forever more

Act two, all though

Every night the same encore

By the light, not the dark but the light

Of the silvery moon, not the sun but the moon

I want to spoon, not croon, but spoon

To my honey I’ll croon love’s tune

Honeymoon, honey moon, honey moon

Keep a-shinin' in June

Your silvery beams will bring love’s dreams

We’ll be cuddlin' soon

By the silvery moon

The silvery moon…
