Lyrics

The funeral cars crawl down

The heartbreak side of town

The mourners all discuss

The boy who caused a fuss

We chopped a billion trees to print up eulogies

But guys we should have guessed

The girls would say it best

Moondog !

Love. 'cos love's the final word

Nothing crosses love

Reason has to bow if love demands it

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

Up there a flag will fly for mom and apple pie

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

The one place left to play

The comeback's underway

The world was younger then

In bed asleep by ten

And daddies shook their fists

At hidden communists

The earth was merely round

Before the slapback sound

Is there one spell can bring

The once and future king ?

Moondog !

Cut... to somewhere deep in space

Beyond the colonel's arms

Handsome doggone rake the truly weightless

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

Up there a flag will fly for mom and apple pie

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

The one place left to play

The comeback's underway

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

Up there a flag will fly for mom and apple pie

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon

The one place left to play

The comeback's underway
