New Moon, heaven sent,
New Moon, you were meant
for ev'ry lover to discover.
A rover passing by
across a starlit sky.

New Moon
do you know your fate
upon the date that you are born
with one month to live
first you're here and
then you're gone.
New Moon round the world in state
you travel for just thirty days
in search of romance
in a hundred diff'rent ways.
When you're in Peru
you see what lovers do,
then moving on further West
you find new sentiment.
Above the Orient
old rover, you never rest
New Moon it will be just grand
if you can be on hand in June.
For I've got a date
underneath a brand New Moon.

New Moon it will be just grand

For I've got a date

June night, creeping nigh
Moon light in the sky
while I'm a scheming and a dreamin'.
My heart is beating fast
you've brought me luck at last.

New Moon
do you know your fate
upon the date that you are born
with one month to live
first you're here and
then you're gone.
