[San Toy:]
Have you heard there's a girl in the moon?
[Chorus:]
Not a word!
How absurd
To have girls on the moon.
[San Toy:]
I have often been told
Of her garment of gold
And her shimmering silver shoon,
And she carries a spangl'd fan.
[Chorus:]
So fair!
[San Toy:]
But she drops it when she can
[Chorus:]
Oh, where?
[San Toy:]
On the ebb and flow
Of the tide below,
That follows her like a man.
[Chorus:]
Take care! Take care!
[San Toy:]
Maid in the moon,
Maid in the moon,
Grant in benignity
Riches and dignity!
All that we ask for a holiday boon,
Maid in the moon,
Maid in the moon!
[Chorus:]
Maid in the moon,
Maid in the moon!
Grant in benignity
Riches and dignity!
All that we ask for a holiday boon,
[San Toy:]
Maid in the moon,
Maid in the moon!
[Bobbie:]
Do you know there's a man in the moon?
[Chorus:]
Is it so?
Will you show us the man in the moon?
[Bobbie:]
For it's easy to trace
Ev'ry line of his face
On a beautiful night in June.
I can show you his lantern now,
[Chorus:]
We see!
[Bobbie:]
And his brush with its leafy bough,
[Chorus:]
A tree
[Bobbie:]
And his dog that's said to be so well bred,
He never remarks bow-wow!
[Chorus:]
Dear me! Dear me!
[Bobbie:]
Moon, moon,
Man in the moon,
Kindly attend to us,
Pack up and send to us
Something of value,
Send it soon,
Moon, moon,
Man in the moon.
[Chorus:]
Moon, moon,
Man in the moon,
Kindly attend to us,
Pack up and send to us
Something of value,
Send it soon,
Moon, moon,
Man in the moon.
[Poppy:]
There are two, I should think, in the moon.
[Chorus:]
If it's true
Will it do
To have two in the moon?
[Poppy:]
And I think you will own
As they're there all alone
That they ought to be married soon!
[Dudley:]
They will live in the sky afar,
[Chorus:]
For aye
[Dudley:]
And be happy as mortals are,
[Chorus:]
They may!
[Dudley:]
And we soon may hope
Through the telescope
For a new little double star!
[Chorus:]
Hooray! Hooray!
[San Toy:]
Sweet honeymoon,
Sweet honeymoon,
Shining above for us,
Show us your love for us,
Drop us a gift from your fairy balloon,
Sweet honeymoon,
Sweet honeymoon!
[Chorus:]
Sweet honeymoon,
Sweet honeymoon,
Shining above for us,
Show us your love for us,
Drop us a gift from your fairy balloon,
[San Toy:]
Sweet honeymoon,
Sweet honeymoon!
