[Verse 1]
The donkey is a-drinkin’ all the moonlight from the water
While the angel and the ox and the fox take a wander
Through the world at night
The world at night

[Verse 2]
The sleepy truck driver parked his truck down beside
The little hill near the mill where the road’s a little wider
In the world at night
The world at night

[Chorus]
Oh gee, the moon’s up in a tree
And man, it’s hard to see what’s next for me
Then I see fireflies go by
Like candy in my eye
And I remember why
Oh, I love the world at night

[Chorus 2]
And gee, is that you whispering to me?
Well I know I shouldn’t believe what I can’t see
But oh my, with each flicker in the sky
A ghost goes ghosting by
And that is why
Oh, I love the world at night
