Jerry Herman - The Man in the Moon lyrics

[MAME, spoken] Oh, Vera, I can't wait to hear that overture. Tell me about the show! [VERA, spoken] Well... well, it's this terribly modern operetta about a lady astronomer, who make a universe shaking discovery [Chorus] Ooh ooh ooh Aah aah aah [VERA, spoken] I have a little secret I'd like to impart That I hope doesn't give you too much of a start (sung) Though it's shocking It's completely true (spoken) I know it isn't gossip, or rumor, of course For I've had it from quite a reliable source (sung) And I'd like to Pa** it on to you The man in the moon is a lady A lady in lipstick and curls The cow that jumped ovah Cried "Jumpin' Jehovah I think it's just one of the girls!" She winks at the stars From her bed of green cheese That isn't a nightgown It's a Saturn chemise Oh, her friends are the stars and the planets She sends the Big Dipper a kiss So don't ever offend her Remember her gender The man in the moon is a miss
