From Wikipedia:
“Moonlight Bay” is a popular song. It is commonly referred to as “On Moonlight Bay“. The lyrics were written by Edward Madden, the music by Percy Wenrich, and was published in 1912. It is often sung in a barbershop quartet style.
The Beatles performed “Moonlight Bay” with comedians Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise on the duo’s ATV programme Two of a Kind in December 1963. A recording of the performance was released on the Beatles’ Anthology 1 in 1995. […]
We were strolling along
(Twist and shout!)
On Moonlight Bay
(Woo!)
We can hear the voices singing
(I like it, I like it)
And they seem to say
You have broken my heart
(Oh, twist and shout!)
Don't go away
(Are The Beatles gone?)
(No, they're here)
(Oh!)
With your short fat hairy legs
On Moonlight Bay
