Good time girls won't you come out tonight
We'll dance by the light of the moon, hey
As I was walking down the street down the street down the street
A pretty little girl
I chanced to meet
We danced by the light of the moon
You know I danced with my darling with a hole in her stocking her knees kept knocking the band was rockin'I danced with my darling with a hole in her stocking
We danced by the light of the moon
I'm singing good time girls won't you come out tonight come out tonight come out tonight
Good time girls won't you come out tonight
We'll dance by the light of the moon, hey
You know I danced with my darling with a hole in her stocking her knees kept knocking the band was rockin'
I danced with my darling with a hole in her stocking
We danced by the light of the moon
Singing good time girls won't you come out tonight come out tonight come out tonight
Good time girls won't you come out tonight
We'll dance by the light of the moon, hey
'Cos I was walking down the street down the street down the street
A pretty little girl

We danced by the light of the moon
You know I danced with my darling with a hole in her stocking her knees kept knocking the band was rockin'
I danced with my darling with a hole in her stocking
We danced by the light of the moon
