Intro:

Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance!



Ask your mom and your daddy

Can you go out tonight

When the starts are bright

Beneath the pale moonlight

Ask your mom and your daddy

Can you go out tonight

We gonna dance by the light of the moon



Ooh, by the light, by the light, of the silvery moon

We gonna dance by the light of the moon

By the light, by the light of the silvery moon

We gonna dance (dance)



I got a dollar in my pocket

Gonna keep the juke a-rockin'

Keep the juke a-rockin'

'Till she wears out her stockin'

Got a dollar in my pocket

Gonna keep the juke a rockin'

Dance by the light of the moon



Ooh, by the light, by the light, of the silvery moon

We gonna dance by the light of the moon

From the light, from the light of the silvery moon

We gonna dance (yeah)



I'm gonna dance with my darlin'

With a hole in her stockin'

Knees keep a-rockin'

Toes keep a-poppin'

Gonna dance with my darlin'

With a hold in her stockin'

Dance by the light of the moon



Ooh, by the light, by the light, of the silvery moon

We gonna dance a-by the light of the moon

By the light, by the light, of the silvery moon

We gonna dance (yeah)



(Instrumental & sax)

Dance, dance, oh the silvery moon

Dance, dance, oh the silvery moon



(Yeah-Yea!)



I'm gonna dance with my darlin' with the hole in her stockin'

Knees keep a knockin'

Toes keep a-poppin'

Gonna dance with my darlin' with the hole in her stockin'

Dance by the light of the moon



Ooh, by the light

(By the light, of the silvery moon)

C'mon now, baby (yeah)

By the light of the moon

By the light, by the light, of the silvery moon

We gonna dance

(Yeah!)



A-by the light

(By the light, of the silvery moon)



FADES-

C'mon now, sugar (yeah)

A-by the light of they moon

A-by the light, by the light, of the silvery moon

We gonna dance

(Yeah).
