Pinkerton Detective Moon 1912 'The Sun Dodgers'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 21 Mar 2005

When you're spooning late at night
and Mister Moon is shining bright above you,
Do be careful,
for he's watching you,
better keep out of sight.
When you whisper in her ear,
my little dear
I am sincere and love you,
breath it, softly,
so old Moony can't hear.
He looks right down from up above,
just when you start in making love,
he's the real old eye
that never sleeps at all.

Oh, you Pinkerton detective
Pinkerton detective moon,
if you would only mind your own affairs,
my lady love and I could marry soon.
Oh, you Pinkerton detective,
Pinkerton detective moon
There is mighty little kissing
that you're eagle eye is missing,
Oh you Pinkerton detective,
Pinkerton detective,
Pinkerton detective moon.

Boys and girls should recollect
that often when
they least expect to find him,
he'll be right there, looking down at you,
wishing he was there too.
When you kiss don't kiss too loud,
or he'll pop out
behind a cloud and find you,
and surprise you,
that is always his cue.
I guess he's lonesome way up there,
and he's looking for some lady fair,
if he finds her he will let us all alone.

Oh, you Pinkerton detective
Pinkerton detective moon,
if you would only mind your own affairs,
my lady love and I could marry soon.
Oh, you Pinkerton detective,
Pinkerton detective moon
There is mighty little kissing
that you're eagle eye is missing,
Oh you Pinkerton detective,
Pinkerton detective,
Pinkerton detective moon.
