Through the twilight, I can hear the humming of a melancholy coon (mm-mm)
For the memories that still linger, I thank you mister Moon
And, although I've never smiled
Winter, summer, autumn too
Now here's one tune to remind me why I feel so blue-oo...

Tubas in the moonlight, playing for me all night
Tell me what I want to hear
Am I only dreaming?
Am I only scheming?
Stars above me, shining brightly
Why can't she be sitting here beside me?
Tubas in the moonlight will bring my loved one home
