There's a ring around the moon
That's the wedding they say
Honey, hold out your finger
It's only our way
There's a ring around the moon
That the heavens have made
Honey, hold out your finger
And don't be afraid
I know that you'll agree
Jewellery can't be afforded by some
But honey, look and see honestly
That beats all kinds of platinum
There's a ring around the moon
And there's nothing to pay
Honey, hold out your finger
It's only our way
