Now young Mr. Moon flew away in the night
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
With his best friend Magnus right by his side
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
They soared through the Milky Way counting the stars
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
Once around Venus, twice around Mars
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Then they spied an island rise out of the sea
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
They fell back to Earth just as free as you please
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
The children all gathered the church bells did ring
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Suddenly everyone started to sing

D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Queen of the island she welcomed them in
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Asking them questions of where they have been
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
She offered them chocolate she offered them tea
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
They all took their seats in the top of a tree
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
And raccoons brought wine and the mice they brought cheese
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Beautiful birds floated by on the breeze
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
From out of the oceans the dolphins began
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Humming a tune that soon covered the land

So young Princess Lea brought coral and pearls
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Gifts to the travelers from some other world
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
The bush doctor mixed up a magical spell
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Swore them to secrecy, never to tell
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
So young Mr. Moon flew away in the night
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
With his best friend Magnus still right by his side
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
The sun was rising, they'd be home by noon
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Humming the words to this magical tune
