"The Moon Has His Eyes On You"
Ada Jones
Edison Gold Moulded Record 9387
1906
Song by Albert Von Tilzer
Where the jessamine perfumes the wildwood
Where the night birds flutter through the air
Lover telling tales of fond affection
To his little sweetheart fair
Every evening for a quiet ramble
Feasting on the maiden’s lovelit eyes
When his arms her waist entwine
Softly says “Will you be mine”
But she answers pointing to the skies
The moon has his eyes on you
So be careful of what you do
Every time you go a-strolling with your lady love
Mister moon is watching from above
Big eyes, way up in the skies
So be wise, don’t let him surprise
Don’t try to tease, for way up thro’ the trees
The moon has his eyes on you
