This is the story of Jennifer Rune Thought she could carry a tune Sang for a dollar, a dance, or a light Down at the old Purple Moon
Handing her flowers and pushing his mite Dapper man, Harry D. Sykes He clowned around with her, dancing all night Under the colorful lights
Saturday night they would line up the block Waiting to dance, with delight All the king's horses, with all of their gear Wanting the queen of the night
Enter a girl at the old Purple Moon Butter Jane Mary Moonlight You'll never hear her name mentioned again Look for it, don't look for it twice
One night a girl with a rose at the Moon Promised ol' Harry a flight Spinning in air while the room settled in Floating with eyes upon eyes
Lifting her gently, they floated in air Forever being in glide Never not knowing they both were the one For each other, for life
Jennifer Rune cut a tooth at The Moon What comes around went around twice She's growing old at the old Purple Moon Harry and Mary are tied
You too, can come to the old Purple Moon It's down on Prospect, near Vine Open 'til two o'clock during the week Three o'clock Saturday night
