Ask your Mom and your Daddy can you go out tonight
Where the stars are bright beneath the pale moonlight
Ask your Mom and your Daddy can you go out tonight

We`re gonna dance by the light of the moon
By the light, by the light of the silvery moon

Keep the juke a-rocking til she wears out her stocking
