You’re not anywhere near
where you’d promised
you’d be,

Señor Moon . . .
Mister Moon.

And my sweetheart
is flat, she’s downright
disappointed.

So I think that you owe me
something – no Señor Moon?
Mister Moon . . .?

You’re waning, I’m waxing,
we’re slightly out of step.

Or perhaps, as you say,
she simply finds me too . . .
clean-shaven?

Oye baby!

Signorina,
that’s a
che
bella
luna.

Extraordinarily che,
opulently bella,
laughingly che bella
luna.
