Well, there's a
moon over the motel
Shining tonight,
but it's silver light,
don't mean a thing
Cause a moon over the motel
It just can't shine through
Venetian blinds,
and ain't it a shame
To see the sons and the daughters
of the lovers we used to know
Signed the name as Mr. and Mrs. Jones
and Miss the Johnny Carson show
There's a moon over the motel
But you're wasting your light tonight,
motel moon
Well, there's a moon over the motel
It don't fit, you'll have to admit
There's something wrong
For a moon over the motel
I'll have to repeat
It's like washing your feet
With your stockings on
There's no more roadside parking
for sparkin' like we used to do
Cause it ain't very hard
to take a credit card
and rent a little rendezvous
There's a moon over the motel
You waste no light tonight,
motel moon
There's a moon over the motel
Shining tonight but your silver light
moon it don't mean a thing
Well there's a man who is
running that motel
Sniffing the breeze and down on his knees
a -praying for rain
Cause every boy and girlie
wants to go home early
when the weather's nice
But on a rainy evening
they keep comin' and leavin'
Till he's greeted every room
about twice
There's a moon over the
motel
You're wastin' your light tonight,
motel moon
You're wastin' your light tonight,
motel moon
