Gilbert And Sullivan - The Sun Whose Rays Are All Ablaze (The Moon and I) lyrics

The Sun whose rays are all ablaze with ever living glory Does not deny his majesty, he scorns to tell a story He don't exclaim "I blush for shame" so kindly be indulgent But fierce and bold in fiery gold, he glories all effulgent I mean to rule the earth as he the sky We really know our worth, the Sun and I I mean to rule the earth as he the sky We really know our worth, the Sun and I Observe her flame that placid dame the Moon's Celestial Highness There's not a trace upon her face of diffidence or shyness She borrows light that through the night, mankind may all acclaim her And truth to tell, she lights up well so I for one don't blame her Ah pray make no mistake, we are not shy We're very wide awake, the Moon and I Ah pray make no mistake, we are not shy We're very wide awake, the Moon and I
