Moonlight Cocktail Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Couple of jiggers of moonlight and add a star
Pour in the blue of a June night and one guitar
Mix in a couple of dreamers and there you are;
Lovers hail the Moonlight Cocktail
Now add a couple of flowers, a drop of dew
Stir for a couple of hours 'til dreams come true
As to the number of kisses, it's up to you
Moonlight Cocktail - need a few
Cool it in the summer breeze
Serve it in the starlight underneath the trees
You'll discover tricks like these
Are sure to make your Moonlight Cocktail please
[Chorus]
Follow the simple directions and they will bring
Life of another complexion where you'll be king
You will awake in the morning and start to sing
Moonlight Cocktails are the thing
(Instrumental interlude)
[Chorus]
Follow the simple directions, and they will bring
Life of another complexion where you'll be king
You will awake in the morning, and start to sing
Moonlight Cocktails are the thing
Couple of jiggers of moonlight and add a star
Pour in the blue of a June night and one guitar
Mix in a couple of dreamers and there you are;
Lovers hail the Moonlight Cocktail
Now add a couple of flowers, a drop of dew
Stir for a couple of hours 'til dreams come true
As to the number of kisses, it's up to you
Moonlight Cocktail - need a few
Cool it in the summer breeze
Serve it in the starlight underneath the trees
You'll discover tricks like these
Are sure to make your Moonlight Cocktail please
[Chorus]
Follow the simple directions and they will bring
Life of another complexion where you'll be king
You will awake in the morning and start to sing
Moonlight Cocktails are the thing
(Instrumental interlude)
[Chorus]
Follow the simple directions, and they will bring
Life of another complexion where you'll be king
You will awake in the morning, and start to sing
Moonlight Cocktails are the thing
