[Verse 1]
    D            G/D        A/D        D
Now young Mister Moon flew away in the night

     D               G/D    A            D
With his best friend Magnus right by his side

     D                  G/D       A/D          D
They soared through the Milky Way counting the stars

D        G/D       A            D      | Dsus2
Once around Venus, twice around Mars

     D             G/D         A/D        D
Then they spied an island rise out of the sea

     D            G/D           A           D
They fell back to Earth just as free as you please

    D            G/D          A/D              D
The children all gathered the church bells did ring

D        G/D      A          D
Suddenly everyone started to sing
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
D            G/D        A/D           D
Queen of the island she welcomed them in

D           G/D          A              D
Asking them questions of where they had been.

    D            G/D           A/D          D
She offered them chocolate she offered them tea

     D              G/D          A        D      | Dsus2
They all took their seats in the top of a tree

    D                G/D          A/D               D
And raccoons brought wine and the mice they brought cheese

D         G/D           A         D
Beautiful birds floated by on the breeze.

     D          G/D        A/D        D
From out of the oceans the dolphins began

D         G/D            A           D
Humming a tune that soon covered the land
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
   D              G/D         A/D       D
So young Princess Lea brought coral and pearls

D            G/D            A          D
Gifts to the travelers from some other world

    D           G/D        A/D     D
The bush doctor mixed up a magical spell

D             G/D      A        D      | Dsus2
Swore them to secrecy, never to tell

   D            G/D        A/D        D
So young Mister Moon flew away in the night

     D               G/D          A            D
With his best friend Magnus still right by his side

    D            G/D            A/D        D
The sun was just rising, they'd be home by noon

D           G/D           A       D
Humming the words to this magical tune
