Allan Sherman - Shine On Harvey Bloom lyrics

rate me

My name is Mr. Bloom and I'm from New Rochelle<br />

And I sing this happy tune<br />

Because my son, the astronaut, young Harvey Bloom<br />

Has landed on the moon<br />

<br />

My wife and I, we miss our little Harvey so<br />

Back here in New Rochelle<br />

That every single night, in the pale moonlight<br />

We walk out on the patio and yell<br />

<br />

Shine on, shine on, Harvey Bloom, up in the sky<br />

You have been in orbit since January, February, June and July<br />

Don't come back too soon, we rented out your room<br />

So shine on, shine on, Harvey Bloom, up there on the moon<br />

<br />

We'll miss you on the holidays, this year they're coming later<br />

We hope you have a very lovely seder in your crater<br />

Your mama sent the astronauts some chicken soup at school<br />

They're using it instead of rocket fuel<br />

<br />

If you like outer space, you oughta see your sister Janet<br />

She came in with a hairdo that is from another planet<br />

Your girl friend Shirley misses you, the Air Force says she had<br />

A temper tantrum on the launching pad<br />

<br />

Shine on, shine on, Harvey Bloom, up in the sky, under separate cover<br />

I'm sending you some pickles and a corned beef on rye<br />

You brought Bromo Seltzer with you, I presume<br />

So shine on, shine on, Harvey Bloom<br />

<br />

Harvey Bloom is on the moon, oh yeah
