But here it is and here it comes
[Chorus]

Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon

Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon
Oh yeah

Though dark, the mirror in the sky reflects us our light
[Verse 3]

Oh yeah

Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon
Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon
Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon
Oh yeah
