The Phases of the Moon Song 
To the tune – 
The Wheels on the Bus

Click on the 'wheels on the bus' to get an instrumental version

Written by Myra Lingle


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.
