Lyrics
Manhattan is really as grand as it’s painted
But tell me you moon in the clouds
How does a stranger in town get acquainted
Among all these nonchalant crowds?
You know each corner and hideaway
You know your way about
I guess I’ll just throw my pride away
And ask you to help me out
Refrain:
Moon, what’s your program, you Moon about town?
Moon be my escort, and show me aroun’
Where does one go, Moon, what does one do?
When one’s alone, Moon? I’m asking you
Moon in this city of millions of lights
Moon, if there’s someone else wasting your nights
Tell him about me, don’t turn me down
Moon introduce us, you Moon about town
