Lyrics

The original song had a second verse, but it was cut from the Chipmunks' cover.

Alvin:
Once in your life, you'll find her

The Chipmunks:
Someone who turns your heart around

Alvin:
And next thing you know, you're closing down the town
Wake up and she's still with you

The Chipmunks:
Even though you left her way 'cross town

Alvin:
You're wondering to yourself:
"Hey, what have I found?"

The Chipmunks:
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do, the best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love

Alvin (spoke):
Fall in love? Hah! I can think of a hundred things better than falling in love!
Like Pac-Man, for instance!

Dave (spoken):
Alvin, this is a very romantic song so just sing the right words, okay?

Alvin (spoken):
But I can't sing them without any feeling, Dave. Got any ideas?

Dave (spoken):
Just one! Either you find the feeling or there'll be no Pac-Man for two weeks!

Alvin (spoken):
You're a real inspiration, Dave!

The Chipmunks:
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do, the best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true (ahh)
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do, the best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
