| He thinks her little feet should pass | B |
| Where dandelions star thickly grass | B |
| Her hands should lift in sunlit air | C |
| Sea wind should tangle up her hair | C |
| Green leaves he says have never heard | D |
| A sweeter ragtime mockingbird | D |
| Nor has the moon man ever seen | E |
| Or man in the spotlight leering green | E |
| Such a beguiling smiling queen | E |
| - | |
| Her eyes he says are stars at dusk | F |
| Her mouth as sweet as red rose musk | F |
| And when she dances his young heart swells | G |
| With flutes and viols and silver bells | G |
| His brain is dizzy his senses swim | H |
| When she slants her ragtime eyes at him | H |
| - | |
| Moonlight shadows he bids her see | I |
| Move no more silently than she | I |
| It was this way he says she came | J |
| Into his cold heart bearing flame | J |
| And now that his heart is all on fire | K |
| Will she refuse his heart's desire | K |
| And O has the Moon Man ever seen | E |
| Or the spotlight devil leering green | E |
| A sweeter shadow upon a screen | E |
