CHESHIRE MOON
by Gary Wickizer ©1993


Cheshire moon up in the blue.

I look at you, and I wonder who.

Oh whom are you smiling at tonight?



Cheshire moon way out there.

I look at you and I got to stare.

Oh, whom are you smiling at tonight?

(CHORUS)

Don’t you know there’s trouble in the land.

Things are getting our of hand.

It’s hard to find enough food to eat.

Get new soles for the shoes on your feet.



Cheshire Moon in the sky.

I look at you and I wonder why.

Oh why, are you smiling so bright tonight?



Oh, Cheshire Moon a way out there.

I look up at you, and I wonder where.

Oh, where is my sweet baby at tonight?

(CHORUS)
