[edit] Chorus

We were sailing along

On Moonlight Bay

You could hear the voices ringing

They seemed to say:

"You have stolen my heart"

"Now don't go 'way"

As we sang love's old sweet song

On Moonlight Bay

On Moonlight Bay...

It is sung by Porky Pig in the ironically-titled 1942 cartoon My Favorite Duck, in which Porky is tormented by Daffy Duck while on a camping trip. It was apparently chosen due to Porky's speech impediment, which is especially noticeable with M's and B's. Daffy, meanwhile, keeps singing "My Mama Done Tol' Me". At one point, Porky unconsciously starts to sing Daffy's number, then stops, looks into the camera with a "Harumph!" and returns to his stuttering version of "Moonlight Bay". It was also sung by Sylvester the cat in 1948 cartoon Back Alley Op-Roar.
