'Way out in the land of Temple Bells
underneath a flaming eastern sky,
Images of gold and ivory
staring at the passers by,

Burmah Moon
keep on shining
on the old lagoon,
Out in Siam
Longing I am,
to go back there soon
(where Temple Bells are ringing.)
Burmah Moon!
Soon you'll hear
their native wedding tune,
We will linger
there for hours
out among the lotus flowers
underneath the Burmah Moon,
Underneath the Burmah Moon.

Burmah Moon
keep on shining
on the old lagoon,
Out in Siam
Longing I am,
to go back there soon
(where Temple Bells are ringing.)
Burmah Moon!
Soon you'll hear
their native wedding tune,
We will linger
there for hours
out among the lotus flowers
underneath the Burmah Moon,
Underneath the Burmah Moon.

Burmah maidens
bend their knees in prayer
Oriental license everywhere,
while the moon is shining up above
Wonderland beyond compare!

Burmah Moon
keep on shining
on the old lagoon,
Out in Siam
Longing I am,
to go back there soon
(where Temple Bells are ringing.)
Burmah Moon!
Soon you'll hear
their native wedding tune,
We will linger
there for hours
out among the lotus flowers
underneath the Burmah Moon,
Underneath the Burmah Moon.

Burmah Moon
keep on shining
on the old lagoon,
Out in Siam
Longing I am,
to go back there soon
(where Temple Bells are ringing.)
Burmah Moon!
Soon you'll hear
their native wedding tune,
We will linger
there for hours
out among the lotus flowers
underneath the Burmah Moon,
Underneath the Burmah Moon.
