[Verse 1] I slipped out under the awning glow My heels kept time on the avenue The baker’s window had a golden show And I was feeling just like new A cab rolled by with a smoky sigh The drummer in me skipped a beat I caught my smile in a stranger’s eye Then the whole block swung to my feet [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the night wore pearls In a thousand tiny curves And every little turn Had a wink I could preserve [Chorus] Moon on Mulberry You make me sway Moon on Mulberry I’m light today Moon on Mulberry Keep on my tune (keep on my tune) Moon on Mulberry I’ll dance till noon [Verse 2] A saxophone leaned from a cellar door Like it knew my name before I did The brass breathed soft on the polished floor And the whole room grinned like a kid I took a corner with a candle cup And the dark turned velvet blue The band said rise and the room lit up When the bandstand called me through [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the night wore pearls In a thousand tiny curves And every little turn Had a wink I could preserve [Chorus] Moon on Mulberry You make me sway Moon on Mulberry I’m light today Moon on Mulberry Keep on my tune (keep on my tune) Moon on Mulberry I’ll dance till noon [Bridge] I used to think the dark came hard But it’s got lace on its sleeve One good step and I’m not far From the joy I let myself believe [Final Chorus] Moon on Mulberry You make me sway Moon on Mulberry I’m light today Moon on Mulberry Keep on my tune (keep on my tune) Moon on Mulberry I’ll dance till noon [Outro] Moon on Mulberry Soft as a spoon Moon on Mulberry I’ll see you soon
