Mame movie - THE MAN IN THE MOON lyrics

<br>

Mame:<br>

Oh, Vera, I can't wait to hear that Overture,<br>

Tell me about the show!<br>

Vera:<br>

Well, well, it's this terribly modern operetta about a lady astronomer,<br>

who make a universe shaking discovery.<br>

Chorus:<br>

Oooooh Aaaaaaaaah...<br>

vERA:<br>

I have a little secret I'd like to impart.<br>

That I hope doesn't give you too much of a start;<br>

Tho' it's shocking, it's completely true.<br>

I know it isn't gossip, or rumor, of course,<br>

For I've had it from quite a reliable source<br>

And I'd like to pass it on to you.<br>

<br>

The man in the moon is a lady,<br>

A lady in lipstick and curls;<br>

The cow that jumped ovah cried,<br>

"Jumpin' Jehovah,<br>

I think it's just one of the girls."<br>

She winks at the stars from her bed of green cheese,<br>

That isn't a night-gown,<br>

It's a Saturn chemise.<br>

Oh, her friends are the stars and the planets,<br>

She sends the Big Dipper a kiss;<br>

So don't ever offend her,<br>

Remember her gender,<br>

The man in the moon is a miss.<br>

<br>
