Get Out And Get Under The Moon
Paul Whiteman and Bing Crosby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you don't know what to do?
Read a book?
Play a game?
Every night it's just the same!
Whadda you say if I tell you
How to keep from feeling blue?
And it's easier to do!
When you're all alone, any old night,
And you're feeling mighty blue,
Pick up your hat,
Close up your flat,
Get out, get under the moon.
Underneath the bright silvery light,
You'll be feeling better soon!
Pick up your hat,
Close up your flat,
Get out, get under the moon.
Ba-da-da-da-da-da,
Look, look, look at those stars above,
Ah look, look, look at those sweeties love!
Oh boy, give me a night in June,
I mean it!
When you're all alone, any old night,
And you're feeling out of tune,
Pick up your hat,
Close up your flat,
Get out, get under the moon.
When you make a date, any old night,
You're gonna meet your sweetie soon? (are yuh, huh?)
Well then pick up your hat,
Close up that flat,
Get out, get under the moon.
Underneath that bright silvery light,
You'll be feelin' better soon!
Pick up your hat,
Close up your flat,
Get out, get under the moon.
Ba-da-da-da-da-da,
Walk, walk, kiss me then
Walk again,
And talk, talk, kiss and then
Talk again,
Oh boy, sweethearts are all in tune,
I mean it!
When it's raining out,
Oh stay in your flat,
But on a lovely night in June,
Pick up your hat,
Close up your flat,
Get out, get under the moon.
The song "Get Out And Get Under The Moon" is a lighthearted tune about what to do when feeling bored or down. It suggests that the best remedy is to get out of the house, put on a hat, and go out under the moon. It promises that being outside and enjoying the starry sky will automatically make one feel better. The song encourages the listener to seek out the company of a loved one and share a romantic stroll under the moonlight. The lyrics use playful language and rhyming schemes to create a cheerful mood that invites the listener to get up and have some fun.
The song was written by Larry Shay, Charles Tobias, and Will H. Dixon and recorded in 1928 by Paul Whiteman and Bing Crosby. The song was a commercial success and became a hit in the United States during the late 1920s. The popularity of the song is due in part to the catchy melody and lighthearted lyrics, but it also reflects a broader cultural trend during the 1920s that celebrated leisure and pleasure-seeking activities.

When you're all alone, any old night
And you're feeling out of tune
Pick up your hat and close up your flat
Get out and get under the moon
Underneath the bright, silverly light
You'll be feeling better soon
Pick up your hat and close up your flat
Get out and get under the moon
Look, look, look at the stars above
Look, look, look at those sweeties love
Oh boy, give me a night in June
We mean it
All you've gotta do, any old night
When you're feeling out of tune
Pick up your hat and close up your flat
Get out and get under the moon
What do you do in the evening
When you don't know what to do
Read a book, play a game
Every night is just the same
What do you say if I tell you
How to keep from feelin' blue
My advice is good to take
And it's easier to do
Pick up your hat and close up your flat

@gunnarthefeisty
everyone focuses on the vocals for this one, but I think the brass is really the star. The sheer warmth is incredible.
@jerryvan6709
AGREED!
@Trombonology
I adore this tune and treatment. Bing's delivery is superb.
@julymcclure
That's it. Spent hours on the road traveling from one music gig to another listening to Paul Whiteman on our vehicle's cassette tape. The music was enervating.
@Anvanho
A "young" Bing Crosby, at this time!
