Lyrics	You all know what that feeling is When, at some quiet spot, All around you may be ice, But the love is burning hot. Of course, her hand so tight you squeeze, As you both gaze afar; Yes, while the moon is laughing at you, Knowing what fools you are. SPOKEN-- When you're in love-- and sitting upon some romantic cliff-- by the light by the moon you gaze in the girl's face-- and imagine how much powder and rouge she has been putting on-- and she's thinking at the same time what expressive eyes-- how his nose turns up-- and I think I should love him a little more if it was a Roman-- and the moon is winking at you and seems to say-- CHORUS. The man in the moon is looking, love He's winking, love, he's blinking, love; And each little star can tell where you are; The man in the moon is looking. The other night, on Dover Cliffs, A girl sat there with me; The moon above kept peeping out, With look of naughty glee. I whispered tales of love and said, "Dont be a timid, miss, But while the moon's behind a cloud, Just one sweet little kiss." SPOKEN-- Not now-- don't you see the man?-- what man?-- why, the man in the moon, he's laughing at us-- but just one, dear-- No, no-- The man in the moon is looking, etc. As we sat gazing at the moon, Like spoony lovers do, My arm, of course, was round her waist, Nigh squeezing her in two, I heard the moon say to the stars, "That pair I'll go and wed" And as the moon came from above, I rolled clean out of bed. SPOKEN-- It was a dream-- I was not a Dover Cliffs, sitting with a girl by moonlight, I was in bed at Brixton with a rushlight shining upon me-- and dreaming it was the moon-- and my darling Matilda saying-- The man in the moon is looking, etc.
