ENSEMBLE: <br>

The moon is on che sea.<br>

The sea is where we'd be.<br>

The darkness is no menace -<br>

It's as though you were in Venice.<br>

Oh, we hope the water's warm<br>

When we go to perform.<br>

You need no sunburn lotion<br>

For a lovely midnight ocean,<br>

So for moonlight bathing each night we appear;<br>

And there's another reason why we're here:<br>

<br>

Bathing underneath the moon<br>

Beats the morn or afcernoon.<br>

There's no crowd a-cluttering the sand;<br>

You will find the solitude is grand.<br>

Water sporting in the dark -<br>

What cavortcing! What a lark!<br>

So won't you step out with us some midnight soon,<br>

And do your bathing 'neath che moon.<br>

<br>

The moon is on the sea.<br>

The sea is where we'd be.<br>

The water may be fishy<br>

But it peps you up like Vichy.<br>

Bring along your valentine,<br>

And join us in the brine;<br>

Come on, the water's fine!<br>

<br>
