Fools' Night Out (Wiggins)

Well, the man in the moon
What on earth are you smilin' about?
Man in the moon, what on earth are you smilin' about?
Well, you're laughin' and you're smilin
Cause you know that it's fools' night out

I said it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
You know it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
I said it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
You know it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
Well, man in the moon
What on earth are you smilin' about?

I said get out in the moonlight
Shake it like you just don't care
(I don't care, I don't care, no)
Yeah, get out in the moonlight
Shake it like you just don't care
(Shake it but don't break it now)
Cause when you get up in the morning
Your nine to five will still be there

You know it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
Yes, it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
Fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
Yeah, it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
Man in the moon
What on earth are you smilin' about?

You must be crazy as a loon
To be carryin' on this way
(Who you callin' crazy, ha!)
You must be crazy as a loon
To be carryin' on this way
(Oh, I can't help myself, yeah)
When you're baying at the moon
Howlin' til the break of day

Oh well it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
Fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
Well, it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
Man in the moon
What on earth are you smilin' about?

My baby has me moonstruck
And I know the reason why
(Ah, tell me why Gaye
You really wanna know
Mmmhmm)
I said my baby has me moonstruck
And I know the reason why
(I believe I already know
Oh, I'm gonna tell ya now)
Cause when we do the wild thing
It makes me holler "Me oh my!"
(Owwwww, hey!)

I said it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
You know it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
I said it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
You know it's fools' night out
(Fools' night out)
Well, man in the moon
What on earth are you smilin'
Man in the moon
What on earth are you smilin'
Man in the moon
What on earth are you smilin' about?
