You can have a banana
a peach or a prune
But nothing is sweeter
Than moonlight in June

Molasses in the moonlight
Love was sweet, cheek to cheek on that June night
World was all behind
We didn't mind
We filled our cups, said bottoms up and had ourselves a time
Molasses in the moonlight
You left my heart on the bum again
Oh, the moonlight seems to call your name
Molasses ain't the same
Don't think I'll ever care for another can
What'll I do
Without molasses in the moonlight and you?

How I love that good old country song
Mama sang when I was on her knee
And the old molasses pail
When Daddy came home from jail
We'd warm our biscuits by the fire
And sing and spin tall tales
(Everybody!)
Molasses in the moonlight
You left my heart on the bum again
Oh, the moonlight seems to call your name
Molasses ain't the same
Don't think I'll ever care for another can
What'll I do
Without molasses in the moonlight and you?
