There ought to be a moonlight saving time
So I could love that man of mine
Until the birdies wake and chime
Good morning

There ought to be a law in clover time
To keep that moon out overtime
To keep each lover's lane in rhyme
Till dawning

You'd better hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
Get busy today
You'd better croon a tune to the man up in the moon
Here is what I say

There ought to be a moonlight savings time
So I could love that man of mine
Until the birdies wake and chime
Good morning

You'd better hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
Get busy today
You'd better croon a tune to the man up in the moon
And here is what I say

There ought to be a moonlight savings time
So I could love that man of mine
Until the birdies wake and chime
Good morning

There ought to be a moonlight savings time
So I could say good morning
