Which, despite the reputation of it's rhymes is a great song. Listen to the Boswell sisters version - it's beautiful.

Y'all know that "to spoon" didn't have the same meaning in the early 20th century as it does now, right?

1715, "to dish out with a spoon," from spoon (n.). The meaning "court, flirt sentimentally" is first recorded 1831, from slang noun spoon "simpleton" (1799), a fig. use based on the notion of shallowness.

Close your eyes, close the door,You don't have to worry any more.I'll be your baby tonight.
Shut the light, shut the shade,You don't have to be afraid.I'll be your baby tonight.
Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away,We're gonna forget it.That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon,But we're gonna let it,You won't regret it.
Kick your shoes off, do not fear,Bring that bottle over here.I'll be your baby tonight.

There's a limit to the silver in a spoon,the temperature in june,the glamour of the moon,but there isn't any limit to my love for you.
Reads sappy but when delivered in an ice cold and dry manner it works. I have a version by Carroll Gibbons & The Savoy Hotel Orpheans with Anne Lenner singing. So good.

And no, neither "moon" nor "June" appear in that Robert Wyatt song.
