Give Me Moonlight.....

Spoken

Some fellows like to go out on the town,

Dressing up sharp when the sun's going down.

Looking for romance and sweet turtle doves,

But I've got a different idea of love

I don't need a sports car, I don't need a date

Just unlock the latch on the old pasture gate

Chorus

Give me the moonlight,

Give me the donkey,

And leave the rest to me.

Give me a sack of feed,

That's all the gear I need,

And leave the rest to me

Sure as the thistles grow on the hill,

We've got a feed bucket ready to fill

So give me the moonlight

Give me the donkey,

And leave the rest to me.

Break

Break

Verse

Ain't exactly a thoroughbred,

Got two fuzzy ears sticking out of his head.

He brays at the stars with a "Hee" and a Haw,

The most stubborn creature that I ever saw.

The neighbours all stare as we trot down the lane,

But I wouldn't trade him for fortune or fame

Chorus

Give me the moonlight....

Give me the donkey....

And leave the rest to me.

Give me a worn-out shoe,

Maybe a carrot too,

And leave the rest to me.

Sure as he’s chewing on somebody's hat,

You just can't reason with logic like that

So give me the moonlight...

Give me the donkey...

And leave the rest to me.

Bridge

Sure, a stallion is fast, and a pony is cute,

But I'm stepping out with my favourite brute..

We're taking a ride, but we've suddenly stopped...

Right where a giant mud puddle has plopped

(Come on, you beast, move! ...No? Just gonna stand there? Alright then.)

Chorus

Give me the moonlight,

Give me the donkey,

And leave the rest to me

Give me a riding crop,

Even though he won't stop,

And leave the rest to me

Sure as I’m pulling his reins all in vain,

He’s gonna drop me right into the drain!

But give me the moonlight, give me the donkey...

Yes, give me the moonlight, give me the donkey...

And leave...

The rest...

To meee.....
