We get it on most every night  
And when that ol’ moon gets so big and bright  
It’s a supernatural delight  
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight

Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance  
With the stars up above in your eyes  
A fantabulous night to make romance  
'Neath the cover of October skies

I’ll take you on a trip beside the ocean  
And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay  
Ain’t nothing like the sky to dose a potion  
The moon’ll send you on your way

Moonlight  
Feels right  
Moonlight  
Feels right

Somebody’s leavin’ peanuts on the curbings  
For a white elephant escaped from zoo with love  
Goes to show what a moon can do  
Moonlight on Vermont

It’s a light and tumble journey  
From the East Side to the park  
Just a fine and fancy ramble  
To the zoo

But you can take the crosstown bus  
If it’s raining or it’s cold  
And the animals will love it if you do  
If you do, now

All God’s creatures got a place in the choir  
Some sing low and some sing higher,  
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,  
Some just clap their hands  
or paws  
or anything they’ve got now

I went to the animal fair.  
The birds and the beasts were there!  
The big baboon, by the light of the moon,  
Was combing his auburn hair.

I went to a garden party  
To reminisce with my old friends  
A chance to share old memories  
Play our songs again  
When I got to the garden party  
They all knew my name  
No one recognized me  
I didn’t look the same

But it’s all right now  
I learned my lesson well  
You see, you can’t please everyone  
So you got to please yourself

What the hell is wrong with me?

I tired spot cream an’ I tried it all

She traveled this road as a child  
Wide-eyed and grinning, she never tired  
But now she won’t be coming back with the rest  
If these are life’s lessons, she’ll take this test

I’ll put a pebble in my shoe  
And watch me walk (watch me walk)  
I can walk and walk!

I shall call the pebble Dare  
I shall call the pebble Dare  
We will talk, we will talk together  
We will talk (we will talk) about walking  
Dare shall be carried  
And when we both have had enough  
I will take him from my shoe, singing:  
“Meet your new road!”

Just take a pebble and cast it to the sea  
Then watch the ripples that unfold into me  
My face spills so gently into your eyes  
Disturbing the waters of our lives

Water of love deep underground  
But there ain’t no water here to be found  
Someday baby when the river runs free  
Gonna carry that water of love to me

You’ve been leading me  
Beside strange waters  
Across the concrete fields of man  
Sun ray like a camera pans  
Some will run and some will stand  
Everything is bullshit but the open hand

Just a roll, just a roll  
Just a roll on your drum  
Just a roll, just a roll  
And the war has begun

Now the right thing’s the wrong thing  
No more excuses to come  
Just one step at a time  
And the war has begun
