(Tune: Moonglow)
IT MUST HAVE BEEN MOON PIES
THAT GAVE ME THE CLUE
IT MUST HAVE BEEN MOON PIES
THAT LED ME STRAIGHT TO YOU
THE GRAHAM-CRACKER COOKIES
SURROUND ALL THE WHITE
YUM, MARSHMALLOW FILLING
CHOCOLATE-COVERED DELIGHT
I….CAN STILL REMEMBER WHERE
THAT HARDWARE STORE
OH, ANOTHER “RC AND MOON PIE” AFFAIR
AND NOW THAT THERE’S MOON PIES
ALL OVER THIS LAND
ONE HAS AN EXCUSE NOW
FOR VERY, STICKY HANDS
YOU….AND I WERE MEANT TO BE
PART OF THE GREAT, BIG
CHATTANOOGA MOON PIE FAMILY
MY SONG AND MY STORY’S
ABOUT TO CONCLUDE
BUT, I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER
THAT MOON PIES GAVE ME YOU
THAT MOON PIES GAVE ME YOU
THAT MOON PIES….GAVE…..ME…..YOU!
