A Little Girl – A Little Boy – A Little Moon

Lyric: Robert King
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1927
Original publisher: Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Inc.

Verse 1:

Scene, a park,
After dark,
'Neath the moonlight mellow;
Just a glance,
Then romance,
What a lucky fellow:

Chorus 1:

A little girl, a little boy, a little moon,
A little nook, a little brook, a night in June;
While the little stars are gleaming,
They're dreaming and scheming.
A little walk, a little talk, a little bliss,
A little "No," a little "Yes," a little kiss;
And very soon, a little church, a little tune,
A little girl, a little boy, a little moon.

Chorus 2:

A little lane, a little house upon the hill,
A little Jack, who hurries back to meet his Jill;
At the little door they're kissing,
But something is missing.
A little Ma, a little Pa, creep up the stair,
A little lad, who looks like dad, is sleeping there;
And through the trees, they hear a breeze, it seems to croon:
A little girl, a little boy, a little moon.

Verse 2:

Time, a year,
June is here,
Park is left behind them;
Happy he,
Happy she,
This is where you find them:
