(chorus)

Phases of the moon

New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous

Phases of the moon

Full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent

Phases of the moon

New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous

Phases of the moon

Full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent

(verse1)

When the moon is in the same direction of the sun

it’s called the new moon, new moon

When you don’t see no light coming from the moon

It is a dark moon, called the new moon

A crescent moon is in the next stage

When the moon is lit a quarter of the way

Less than half but more than zero

This is called a crescent moon, true

Now a quarter moons a half moon

You see a half moons a quarter moon, quarter moons a half moon

They call a half moon a quarter moon, word

because it made a quarter of its turn around the earth

You see half of the moon lit up

and I know what you’re thinking but

It’s a half moon, called a quarter moon

Half moons a quarter moon, quarter moons a half moon

(chorus)

Phases of the moon

New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous

Phases of the moon

Full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent

Phases of the moon

New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous

Phases of the moon

Full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent

(verse2)

Now the gibbous moon is a little more full

but not all the way full

The lit-up part is between a full moon

and a half moon called the gibbous moon

Now the full moon shine so bright

You see the full moon light up the night

Halfway through a circle, circle

You’ll see the full moon light up the night
