Shine on, shine on harvest moon up in the sky
I ain’t had no lovin’ since January, February, June, or July
Snow time ain’t no time to sit outdoors and spoon
Shine on, shine on harvest moon for me ‘n’ my gal
MONOLOGUE: C’mon, shine on harvest moon way up there in the sky. Don’tcha
Know I ain’t had no lovin’ since January, February, June, AND July? Now, looka
Here a don’t you know better than to set out there in the snow ‘n’ spoon? C’mon, I don’t
Want no half moon, I want a full moon.
Oh, won’t you shine on, shine on harvest moon(shine on, shine on)
Up in the sky? (shine on)
I ain’t had no lovin’ since January, February, June, or July
(ah-ooba, ah-ooba, ah-ooba , ah-ooh)
Don’t you know you’re gonna freeze to death
Settin’ out there in the snow tryin’ to spoon?
So shine on, shine on harvest moon for me ‘n’ my gal
Yeah!!
