There's a strawberry moon in a blueberry sky
In a garden high over Manhattan
Oh what a heavenly pattern
Even your ma and your pa never saw such a

Strawberry moon in a blueberry sky
Looming over two starry eyed people
Gazing at stars round the steeple
Of the church where I'll marry you soon
Under a strawberry moon

Oh the moon, lovely moon
What a heavenly strawberry moon

There's a strawberry cottage in blueberry lane
On the outskirts of merry Manhattan
Furnished with silk and with satin
Curtains of lace and three windows that face that old

Strawberry moon in a blueberry sky
And a strawberry patch in the garden
So glad that we put a yard in
We're expecting some blueberries soon
Under a strawberry moon.

Oh the moon, lovely moon
What a heavenly strawberry moon

Oh the moon, lovely moon
What a heavenly strawberry moon
