Moonlight Cocktail - Mel Torme

Couple o' jiggers of moonlight, and add a star,

Pour in the blue of a June night, and one guitar,

Mix in a couple o' 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 till dreams come true.

As to the number of kisses, it’s up to you —

Moonlight cocktails 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.

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.

(words by Kim Gannon, music by Luckey Roberts)
