ALL BY YOURSELF IN THE MOONLIGHT
(Jay Wallis)
Whispering Jack Smith (with Carroll Gibbons' New Mayfair Dance Orch.) - 1928

Now, boys were made for girls, and girls were made for boys
Made to share each others cares and joys
And life without a mate, is like an empty plate
And what did Adam say before he met his fate

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze.
Love's a farce, sittin' on the grass
All by yourself in the moonlight

Now, she's must have their he's, and he's must have their she's
Otherwise there'd be no family trees
Why even in the zoos, they keep them there in two's
Otherwise there'd be no kangaroo's

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
It's insane, swinging down the lane
All by yourself in the moonlight

Now it get's your goat, riding in a boat
All by yourself in the moonlight
And it's all a fake, swimming in the lake
All by yourself in the moonlight

No it don't make sense, sitting upon the sands
Whispering to yourself, ain't the scenery grand
Ther ain't no whim, when you go to swim
All by yourself in the moonlight

(Instrumental Break)

Now, you can't tell lies, to the butterflies
All by yourself in the moonlight
And you'll agree, that you're poor company
All by yourself in the moonlight

When you're alone, it doesn't bring to light
Kissing yourself hello, kissing yourself goodnight
And there ain't no kick, gosh it makes you ill
All by yourself in the moonlight

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
Love's a farce, sittin' on the grass
Rahhh
I beg your pardon gentlemen
ranton
All by yourself in the moonlight
Goodnight
