Lyrics

Fair moon, to thee I sing,
Bright regent of the heavens,
Say, why is ev'ry thing either,
At sixes or at sevens?

I have lived hitherto,
Free from the breath of slander,
Lived hitherto, beloved by all my crew,
A really popular commander!

But now my kindly crew rebel,
My daughter to a tar is partial,
Sir Joseph storms, and sad to tell,
He threatens a court martial!

Fair moon, to thee I sing,
Bright regent of the heavens,
Say, why is ev'ry thing either,
At sixes or at sevens,
Bright regent of the heavens?
