This is a good song, but it definitely gets the astronomy wrong. The moon CAN be up at the same time as the sun, but in general the closer moonrise is to sunrise the less visible it will be (new moons in particular are completely invisible from Earth because they rise at roughly the same time as the sun). So yes, you can "have it both ways around".
