Tonight the moon smiles down;
Like the fabled grinning cat;
Behind those teeth it walks 'round;
'Round the sky does walk the grinning cat.
Take care what you say or do.
For he prowls by all too soon.
Watch or he'll come after you
When under the cheshire moon.
Alice, poor Alice knew not
the doom;
She shouldn't have rested at noon.
Now she only knows gloom;
Walking under the Cheshire moon.
When the moon shows it's toothy
grin;
Making woman or man act the loon,
Careful, for it be a mortal sin
To hide from the Cheshire moon.
So when the sliver you see
there,
Some night in March, May or June,
Beware and take good care.
When under the Cheshire moon.
