The song can be found on the album "Communiqué"
I think that this is a really great song, but it's not one of their
most famous hits. Anyway, hope this helps.

Well there's a Peter Pan moon, shepherd's delight

Now I want my reward, in heaven tonight

E D C
Let the saxophone play us 'til the chorus of dawn

Don't need rejection, yeah
