ILLUSION, by                    
First Line: The moon! Look at her! In that gorgeous gold gown
Last Line: Limping in with rheumatism -- kissing their wives!
Subject(s): Moon


The Moon! Look at her! In that gorgeous gold gown
Stepping out to tantalize the crazy, trusting town!
See her wiles ... causing that gay old dog to purr,
While that swing-angel thinks it's all meant for her!

I am wise to her ways ... so I keep to my room
I've seen her before -- in the dawn's grey gloom
Sending home sorry husbands, (would-be romantic lives!)
Limping in with rheumatism -- kissing their wives!
