Moon Love Lyrics

Moonlight Cocktail

Glenn Miller & his Orchestra

Words by Kim Gannon

Music by Lucky Roberts

#1 from week of February 28, 1942 to week of May 2, 1942

Couple of jiggers of moonlight and add a star,

Pour in the blue of a June night and one guitar,

Mix in a couple of dreamers and there you are:

Lovers hail the Moonlight Cocktail.

Now add a couple of flowers, a drop of dew,

Stir for a couple of hours 'til dreams come true.

Add to the number of kisses, it's up to you.

Moonlight Cocktail - need a few.

Cool it in the summer breeze

Serve it in the starlight underneath the trees.

You'll discover tricks like these 

Are sure to make your Moonlight Cocktail please.

Follow the simple directions and they will bring

Life of another complexion where you'll be king.

You will awake in the morning and start to sing

Moonlight Cocktails are the thing.

(Instrumental interlude)

Follow the simple directions and they will bring

Life of another complexion where you'll be king.

You will awake in the morning and start to sing

Moonlight Cocktails are the thing.
