D             G/D         A/D           D
Now young Mr. Moon flew away in the night
D                    G/D    A/D          D
With his best friend Magnus right by his side
D                       G/D       A/D          D       
They soared through the Milky Way counting the stars
D           G/D    A            D  
Once around Venus, twice around Mars

Then they spied an island rise out of the sea
They fell back to Earth just as free as you please
The children all gathered the church bells did ring
Suddenly everyone started to sing

Chanson pour toute le monde

Queen of the island she welcomed them in
Asking them questions of where they have been
She offered them chocolate she offered them tea
They all took their seats in the top of a tree

And raccoons brought wine and mice they brought cheese
Beautiful birds floated by on the breeze
From out of the oceans the dolphins began
Humming a tune that soon covered the land

Chorus

So young Princess Lea brought coral and pearls
Gifts to the travelers from some other world
The bush doctor mixed up a magical spell
Swore them to secrecy never to tell

So young Mr. Moon flew away in the night
With his best friend Magnus still right by his side
The sun was just rising they'd be home by noon
Humming the words to this magical tune

Chorus

Song for the children
Song for the world
