}}"Moonlight Bay" is a popular song. It is commonly referred to as "On Moonlight Bay". The lyrics were written by Edward Madden, the music by Percy Wenrich, and was published in 1912. It is often sung in a barbershop quartet style. Early successful recordings in 1912 were by the American Quartet and by Dolly Connolly.[1]

Verses

Voices hum, crooning over Moonlight Bay

Banjos strum, tuning while the moonbeams play

All alone, unknown they find me

Memories like these remind me

Of the girl I left behind me

Down on Moonlight Bay

Candle lights gleaming on the silent shore

Lonely nights, dreaming till we meet once more

Far apart, her heart, is yearning

With a sigh for my returning

With the light of love still burning

As in days of yore

Chorus

We were sailing along

On Moonlight Bay.

We could hear the voices ringing;

They seemed to say,

"You have stolen my heart"

"Now don't go 'way!"

As we sang "Love's Old Sweet Song"

On Moonlight Bay

Some sources{{who?|date= June 2018}} alter the third line of the chorus from "voices ringing" to "darkies singing," to appeal to minstrel show tastes.{{cn|date=June 2018}} However, the original sheet music and 1912 recordings use the lyrics above.

Beatles Version

We were strolling along (twist and shout!)

On Moonlight Bay (whoo!)

We could hear the voices singing (I like it!)

You said you'd stay (Keep up, Bongo!)

You have broken my heart (oh, twist and shout!)

So go away ('Have the Beatles gone?' 'No, they're here!')

With your short, fat hairy legs

On Moonlight Bay

On Moonlight Bay
