This song is also a music video and is seen on the Disney and Family Channel throughout North America.

Chorus

Where oh where oh where
has the moon gone
Where oh where oh where
has the moon gone

I'm going to tell you a tale
about a man who ran away with moon
He took it home, He put it in his living room
He put the moon way up on a shelf
He tried to keep it all for himself

No one knew about the man who ran away with the moon
I guess he figured he could see it in the afternoon
But now the night is blacker than black
Darker than dark we gotta get the moon back

Chorus

But one simple thing this man forgot
The moon had it's very own things it did attract
and one night when the moon was bright
it must have been a full moon that night

Because he looked out the windows
and the dogs were barking
In his driveway strange cars were parking
The taps turned on all by himself
The moon was grinning from up on his shelf
The cats were meowing and the owls were hooting
The whole neighborhood was uprooting
He when out on his porch, he saw a cow on his roof
He looked to the side, he thought he saw a werewolf

Everybody walking around thinking what was it's fate?
And all the scientists in the world they did speculate
The man thought it was a rare antique
He used it like a lamp so to speak

Now this man he was really afraid
He went back in his house and he quickly pulled down the shade
He went and took the moon to the tallest hill
He threw it back in the sky with all his will
and the moon his behind a cloud and slid into tommorow
