Given Ralph Rainger's background as a composer and Dorothy Parker's reputation as one of the cleverest users of American English of the early twentieth century, it is most likely the case that, although words and music credit are given to both, Rainger is mostly if not completely, the composer and Parker the lyricist for "I Wished on the Moon."
