- Moon, so round and yellow,—Looking from on high,How I love to see you—Shining in the sky.Oft and oft I wonder,—When I see you there,How they get to light you,—Hanging in the air:Where you go at morning,—When the night is past,And the sun comes peeping—O'er the hills at last.Sometime I will watch you—Slyly overhead,When you think I'm sleeping—Snugly in my bed.

Why do you frighten me so, You captive of the coconut glade? I have seen you before, Have flirted with you so many a night.
