I Want The Moon 1912

When I was just a little girl
and had to go to bed,
and hang my rompers of a chair,
with "Good night sleepy head."
The great big yellow moon would come
a stealing in my room
and then I'd hop right out of bed
and say: "I want the moon,
I don't know why I want it
but I do.
Oh Mister Moon
I want to play with you."

I want the moon
that dear old moon
beneath those beams,
all the dreams,
so it seems
come true to you in June.
I want the moon,
sweet honey moon,
for I'm so lonely, so lonely,
I only want the moon.

When I grew up and fell in love
'Twas always just the same,
and if the fellows kissed me
'Twas the moon that was to blame.
And when at night
the moon beams bright
would flood my little room
I'd tiptoe to the window, then,
and say: "I want the moon,
I don't know why I want it
but I do.
Oh Mister Moon
I want to play with you."

I want the moon
that dear old moon
beneath those beams,
all the dreams,
so it seems
come true to you in June.
I want the moon,
sweet honey moon,
for I'm so lonely, so lonely,
I only want the moon.
