(chorus)
New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous
Phases of the moon, phases of the moon
Full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent
Phases of the moon, phases of the moon
(verse1)
The moon is in the same direction of the sun
It’s a new moon, a new moon, a new moon
When there’s no light coming from the moon
It’s a new moon, a new moon, a new moon
The moon is lit a quarter of the way
It’s a crescent moon, crescent moon, crescent moon
The moon is lit half of the way
It’s a quarter moon, quarter moon, a quarter moon
The moon made a quarter of its turn around the earth
It’s a quarter moon, quarter moon, a quarter moon
(chorus)
New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous
Phases of the moon, phases of the moon
Full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent
Phases of the moon, phases of the moon
(verse2)

Halfway through a circle you’ll see the full moon
Light up the night, light up the night
(chorus)
New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous
Phases of the moon, phases of the moon
Full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent
Phases of the moon, phases of the moon
