When the Moon Shines on the Moonshine by Bert Williams Lyrics

The Mahogany is dusty
All the pipes are very rusty
And the good, old-fashioned Musty
Doesn't musty anymore

All the stuff's got bum and bummer
From the middle of the Summer
Now the bar is on the hummer
And "For Rent" is on the door

How sad and still tonight
By the old distillery
And how the cob-webs cob
On the old machinery

But in the mountain tops
Far from the eyes of cops
Oh how the moon shines on
The moonshine, so merrily!

Goodness me, how misery doubles
Ain't one thing to use for bubbles
Or to drive away your troubles
For the tide has gone and went
Days and nights are getting bleaker
Shivering for an old-time sneaker
Even water's getting weaker
'Bout one tenth of one per cent

How sad and still tonight
By the old distillery
And how the Monas moan
At the Lager brewery

So, mister, if you please
Don't let nobody sneeze
Up where the moon shines
On the moonshine, so sillily
