Moon Phases

The phases of the moon go round, and round,

Round, and round, round and round

The phases of the moon go round, and round,

All through the month.

The new moon is the phase where you can’t see

Any light, any light,

The new moon is the phase where you can’t see

Any light, any light at all.

The waxing crescent has a sliver of light,

Sliver of light, sliver of light,

The waxing crescent has a sliver of light

A sliver of light on the right.

The first quarter phase is half lit up,

Half lit up, Half lit up,

The first quarter phase is half lit up

The right half has the light.

The waxing gibbous is more than a half

But not quite full, not quite full.

The waxing gibbous is more than a half

The full moon will be next.

The full moon is a circle of light,

Circle of light, circle of light,

The full moon is a circle of light,

That lights up the night sky.

The waning gibbous is less than full,

Less than full, less than full,

The waning gibbous is less than full,

Coming after a full moon.

The third quarter phase is half lit up,

Half lit up, half lit up,

The third quarter phase is half lit up,

The left half has the light.

The waning crescent has a sliver of light,

Sliver of light, sliver of light,

The waning crescent has a sliver of light,

The light is on the left.

That’s our song about the phases of the moon,

Phases of the moon, phases of the moon,

That’s our song about the phases of the moon,

A natural cycle of Earth.
