Lyrics
Hangin' around the observatory We were waitin' to see the moon Well we thought that we was all gypsies Come to escape these lousy ruins
Well that telescope; that mighty eye It's bigger, jack, that you or i Oh, it sees the stars, it sees the moon You might as well stay in the room
Professor, professor, I forgot how it looks Could I just take another peek? Is there really a man who lives up there? Is it all green cheese so to speak?
Well now listen boy. these are the facts The moon is white. the sky is black And you are a speck on this crummy earth And a dollar and a half is all you're worth
Why did I come here?
Let all the tender scientist Get lost in poetry And let all these moist romantic guys Turn back to history
Hangin' around the observatory Waitin' to see the moon Well we thought that we was gypsies Come to escape these lousy ruins
