DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT LYRICS
We get it on most every night
When that moon gets big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

I swear playing this song along with you every night after work is getting me through the dark cold winter nights AND the pandemic
The dog and cat back-up is the absolutely best! What a joy!
Absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the back up dancing kitties!!!!
I can’t sing at all so playing along with you while learning the uke is so much fun. You’re a very good teacher. 🙏🏼
Your renditions of these songs motivate me to keep learning new songs because of how fun you always make it look.
What a gift you give to us!! Especially in these times... to sit and enjoy and learn and feel so good while doing it... Positive blessings on you and yours!
Play along starts at 00:52. Y'all - for those of you who are struggling to "keep up"... Set your playback speed to a slower pace and work on keeping up with it that way. Once you can keep up, set it to the next higher speed. Keep going till you're at "normal". (See the wheel on the lower right of the video, next to the CC box.) This little idea has saved my life and I have learned soooo many more songs this way - not to mention, I've learned how to play so much faster as a whole because I set the playback speed to a level I can handle and then I move up as I get better.
This is sooo great ! ! ! Teaching people how to play ... the message of dancing in the moonlight ... can't be up tight .... and then there is a variety of you dancing in the moon light .... all positive "love" energy .... well done and thank you!
Currently self-isolating and this video has brought me so much joy! You are my covid angel!
this tutorial is perfection in every way
Ha ha ha I love the chewy/mochi cameo! 🐶 🐱
they loved it too haha
omg thanks cynthia for this ! absolutely love learning the island strum (will learn it w chucking too) and the best part is the dancing part w your dogs!!!! LOVE ITTTT
Love seeing your pets dancing along!
This has always been one of my all time favorite songs! Thank you for doing a tutorial! Love the fun dancing cameos too!
This is so much fun to play!
LOVE your sing-alongs !! but THIS one ... with your adorable pups !!! and THREE of you ..... totally FABULOUS !!! MAHALO !!!!
You are such a doll to do these tutorials! And your voice is so sweet. Thank you!
Great version of this song and I loved the all "actors" involved. Cynthia nails it again!! She is my favorite online teacher!
Love the chorus dancing 🥰
This is the best and most entertaining tutorial ever! Only you could teach such a fantastic song in less than 5 minutes AND brighten my day with your dancing furry friends in the moonlight.
Thank you for the post! I'm a beginner, the song was attractive, and easy to learn. The video was so well done and fun to watch over and over!
So fun! And love the fur babies! You bring such joy! Thank you!
Finally! I love this song and I'm very glad you did a ukulele version on it, thank you!
Thank you for being alive ! This was feeling like a soul hugh in the middle of the dark night !
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Yayyyyy!! Such a fun play-along Cynhtia! Especially loving the Mochi and Chewie cameos!!!
Aloha from a kama’aina Haole with my Uke in Bangkok You are fantastic for many years. Mahalo
Feeling warm and bright. You crack me up. Dancing in the moonlight..........cant help bit sing it
Love the way you teach songs. Thank you!
Beautiful
I love to play along with this song 🥰🥰🥰
Love this format and so fun!!
OH WOW! One of my all time favorite songs! I was 15 when it came out and I had the 45 record! Thank you for doing this!
One of my all-time favorite songs too, Terry! Idk what year it came out, but I was 11-13 years old when I first heard it. This song "does it" for me, and I just CAN'T SIT STILL when it's playing!!
"Dance with Me" has the same effect on me. Songs like these are "magical" and they tend to nourish the soul. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dancing. Catchy song. Thank you Cynthia. ❤❤
Fun new format. Beautiful. Thanks for all you give to the community
Love the five dancers!!
AMAZING! Bless you!
YAS!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you show us the chords we will be using for this song!! I picked up the ukulele pretty quickly because I grew up studying classical piano from kindergarten through college so I went through the basics pretty quickly. Where I really needed the most was just in playing along with various videos and trying to keep up. I am actually on your Patreon but I follow along here more... I did your beginner lessons and I am still working through some of the last ones but the thing that has helped me most is to finish off my time by going to one of your songs and playing along while trying to keep up. I'm getting better and better each night and man oh man has it been an awful lot of fun!! THANK YOU for doing these for us and thank you the most for putting the chords in there (along with the correct fingering)!! As a classical pianist, I know full well how important that correct fingering can be and I don't want to learn bad habits that I may have to break later so thank you sooo much!! Any chance you'll put together a playlist of songs that starts with the easiest and ends with the hardest? I would sure love to have something like that to follow and play along on each night.
I love this song!
I LOVE THIS SONG💚 THANKS 👏👏👏👏👏
I love your energy sooo much!!
LOVE IT !!!! the dancing was nice too.
Another amazing tutorial from the best uke teacher on RUclips! Would love to hear your version of the good the bad and ugly. My favourite film score of all time!! Keep up the amazing work! X
BEAUTIFULLLLL !!! THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Love this song, thanks!
She just makes everything perfectly easy. Teach me more sensei. 😍😍😍
Beautiful! Great job! Love this song too!!!

Such a fun song to play!
Another great song, thank you. Lots of fun to play. I switched the Em7 to an Em. Actually went back and forth just for the fun of it.
I love it, especially the dance breaks...!!
This is the best uku cover so far thank uuuu
Thank you! I learnt this song thanks to you!!!!

Hi Cynthia, this looks like an easy tutorial. I always need the easy and beautiful ones since I'm always quitting and then coming back to my Uke because of my work schedule. I'm hoping to pick it up again. I miss learning & playing it. This is a beautiful song & I love it. ❤😍
This is perfect!!! Perfect amount of tutorial, easy to follow along, cuts straight to the point. More of these please! It’s so hard to find good play alongs
I've been waiting to see where I could use that island chucking strum!
So fun. thank you
Awesome! Thank you Cynthia! Fun and it makes it so much easier for me to follow along.

The dogs in the dance break!! ❤ this channel gives me big smiles
What a fun video and awesome play along Cynthia! Thanks 💖
Hi Cynthia. This is a great play along tutorial for one of my all time favorite songs. I am playing alone with a guitar. The more simplify chord naming for songs based on the Ukulele makes it easier for me to play at this stage of my playing level on the guitar. In other words no 9, 11, ... extension, but the song still sound rich and very colorful. Thanks.
Thank you ! Helens maestros ( four uke lockdown beginners ) love your u tubes , so helpful . Best of the lot ! Really helping the lockdown blues
Sheila Hampshire England

You are so amazing at what you do, and you are such an inspiration to anyone learning the ukulele! Thank you for everything you do for your fellow uke players! ❤️
I bet if you did a cover of Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper it would sound amazing! You have such a good voice for it!!
