Does anybody know what the lyrics are to the song they sing at the club, Old Man Moon? I've looked around but I can't find them anywhere.

By Hoagy Carmichael

Old Man Moon wake up
'Cause I've fallen in love.
So spread the news to all the stars above.

Shine for my baby
While we're dancing tonight,
And fill her tender eyes with love and dynamite.

Old Man Moon put stardust
In a bottle of wine.
Just do your darndest to make sure that she'll be mine

And if it's possible
Keep shining till noon.
My sincerest thanks to you, sir.
Old Man Moon,

That's songwriter/singer Hoagy Carmichael himself playing the piano as Cary and Constance sing by the way.

I love this sing and the scenes when they're singing by the piano with Hoagy in the early hours of the morning
