If You Stub Your Toe On The Moon - Nat King Cole/Woody Herman[00:00:00]
Oh there's nothing to be ashamed of[00:00:14]
If you stub your toe on the moon[00:00:18]
When the dream's at the top of the sky[00:00:22]
Well you'll just have to jump pretty high[00:00:26]
But don't give up too soon[00:00:30]
If you stub your toe on the moon[00:00:34]
Now young Harry Hodgett loved making gadgets[00:00:38]
Life needs some new things was his claim[00:00:42]
Hope one or two things might bring fame[00:00:46]
This is the last time you'll hear his name[00:00:50]
Nobody mentions Harry's inventions[00:00:54]
But do you think that got him down[00:00:58]
Here comes the end when there're gadgets to mend[00:01:01]
He's the best repairman in town[00:01:05]
So there's nothing to be ashamed of[00:01:09]
If you stub your toe on the moon[00:01:12]
When you start out to climb to a cloud[00:01:16]
Well it may get a laugh from the crowd[00:01:20]
But don't give up too soon[00:01:24]
If you stub your toe on the moon[00:01:28]
Sweet Sally Springer she was a singer[00:01:39]
Lived in a hall room up one flight[00:01:44]
Thought of the ballroom big and bright[00:01:48]
Where she would make her debut some night[00:01:51]
And then for her trouble pop went the bubble[00:01:55]
Say that it's sad but wait don't weep[00:01:59]
Now they admit every night she's a hit[00:02:03]
When she sings her children to sleep[00:02:06]
Wait folks don't go 'way yet[00:02:14]
Horace MacLowit[00:02:18]
He was a poet[00:02:20]
Worked in an attic day and night[00:02:22]
Sort of fanatic some would say[00:02:26]
Much too profound in his obscure way[00:02:29]
Tried hard to last out[00:02:33]
Laughed at and tossed out[00:02:35]
Horace the failure would not grieve[00:02:37]
He writes the rhymes[00:02:41]
That are cheerful as chimes[00:02:42]
On the Christmas cards you receive[00:02:44]
No there's nothing to be ashamed of[00:02:48]
If you stub your toe on the moon[00:02:52]
Though it may be a blow to your pride[00:02:55]
You're a hero because well you tried[00:02:59]
So don't give up too soon[00:03:03]
If you stub your toe on the moon[00:03:07]
