Old Devil Moon - Don Francks and Petula Clark - Finian's Rainbow
(Lyrics: E.Y. Harburg, Music: Burton Lane) 1968

(Don)
I look at you
And suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
It's that old devil moon
In your eyes

You and your glance
Make this romance
Too hot to handle
Stars in the night
Blazing their light
Can't hold a candle
To your razzle dazzle
You've got me flying high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
I wanna cry
Wanna croon
Wanna laugh just like a loon
It's that old devil moon
In your eyes

(Petula)
I look at you
And glory be
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitchin' me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
It's that old devil moon
In your eyes

You and your glance
Make this romance
Too hot to handle
Stars in the night
Blazin' their light
Can't hold a candle
To your razzle dazzle
You've got me flying high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
I wanna cry
I wanna croon
I want to laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon
In your eyes

(Don)
Just when I think I'm
Free as a dove

(Petula)
Old devil moon
Deep in your eyes
Blinds me with
Love

Yeah
Yeah
Mmm...
