The Moon Will Help You Out 1903 'Babes In Toyland'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 31 Mar 2004

When the man, stupid man,
is timid and shy,
and the days and the week,
and the years roll by,
with the man stupid man,
a victim of fear,
who will not speak the words
you are longing to hear.
If you'd fain put an end
to worry and doubt.
Give the moon half a chance
And he'll help you out,
Give the moon half a chance,
he'll help out.

There is something
in the glimmer of the moon,
that always puts
two loving hearts in tune,
and the lad who fears to say,
that he loves you in the day,
in the moonlight
is inclined to tell you soon.
So together in the moonlight stroll about,
it will surely put his bashfulness to rout,
Ere the ramble you complete,
You will find him at your feet,
That is how I think
the moon will help you out.

When the man, cruel man,
has started a tiff,
you exchange as you pass,
a frown and a sniff,
all is o'er, never more
he'll sue for your heart,
you are false he's a wretch,
you have drifted apart.
So he sulks and he scowls,
you weep and you pout.

Till the moon gets a chance
and he helps you out,
till the moon gets a chance
he'll help out.
There is something
in the glimmer of the moon,
that always puts
two loving hearts in tune,
and the lad who fears to say
that he loves you in the day,
in the moonlight
is inclined to tell you soon.
So together in the moonlight stroll about,
It will surely put his bashfulness to rout,
ere the ramble you complete,
you will find him at your feet,
that is how I think
the moon will help you out.
