"Moonlight On Vermont" lyrics
(originally by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band)
Hey, yeah
Ha, ha, ha, ha, hahaha
Moonlight on Vermont affected everybody
Even Mrs. Wooten well as Little Nitty
Even Lifebuoy floating
With his little pistol showing
And his little pistol toting
(Ha, haha)
Well that goes to show you what a, a moon can do
Well that goes to show you what a, a moon can do
No more bridge from Tuesday to Friday
Everybody's gone, high society
Hope is lost and got off on his alligators
Somebodies leaving peanuts on the curbins
For a white elephant escaped from the zoo with love
(Ah, hahahaha)
That just goes to show you what a moon can do
Moonlight on Vermont
A moo—, a mo—, uh, moonlight on Vermont
(Hey, hehehe)
Well it did it for Lifebuoy
And it did it to you
And it did it to zoo
And it can do it for me
And it can do it for you
Well it did it for Lifebuoy
And it did it to you
And it did it to zoo
And it can do it for me
And it can do it for you, uh
Give me that old time religion
Don't give me no inflection, that old time religion
It's good enough for me
Ah, it's good enough for you
Well, come out to show them
Come out to show them, come out to show them
Come out to show them, come out to show them
Come out to show them, come out to show them
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
Hehehehehehe

Oh yeah, hehehe, hehehehe, hehehehehehehehe
Ha, ha, ha, ha, hahaha
Moonlight on Vermont affected everybody
Even Mrs. Wooten well as Little Nitty
Even Lifebuoy floating
With his little pistol showing
And his little pistol toting
(Ha, haha)
Well that goes to show you what a, a moon can do
Well that goes to show you what a, a moon can do
No more bridge from Tuesday to Friday
Everybody's gone, high society
Hope is lost and got off on his alligators
Somebodies leaving peanuts on the curbins
For a white elephant escaped from the zoo with love
(Ah, hahahaha)
That just goes to show you what a moon can do
Moonlight on Vermont
A moo—, a mo—, uh, moonlight on Vermont
(Hey, hehehe)
Well it did it for Lifebuoy

Ah, it's good enough for you
Well, come out to show them
Come out to show them, come out to show them
Come out to show them, come out to show them
Come out to show them, come out to show them
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
