If You Stub Your Toe On The Moon - Nat King Cole[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]
Young Harry Hodgett loved making gadgets [00:00:38]
Life needs some new things was his claim [00:00:43]
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[00:01:02]
When you gadgets to mend[00:01:03]
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 [00:01:13]
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 [00:01:40]
Lived in a hall room up one flight [00:01:45]
Thought of the ballroom big and bright [00:01:48]
Where she would make her debut some night [00:01:52]
And then for her trouble pop went the bubble [00:01:56]
Say that it's sad but wait don't weep [00:02:00]
Now they admit every night she's a hit [00:02:03]
When she sings her children to sleep [00:02:07]
Wait folks don't go 'way yet [00:02:15]
Horace MacLowit [00:02:19]
He was a poet [00:02:21]
Worked in an attic day and night [00:02:22]
Sort of fanatic some would say [00:02:27]
Much too profound in his obscure way [00:02:30]
Tried hard to last out [00:02:34]
Laughed at and tossed out [00:02:36]
Horace the failure would not grieve [00:02:38]
He writes the rhymes[00:02:42]
That are cheerful as chimes[00:02:43]
On the Christmas cards you receive [00:02:45]
No there's nothin' to be ashamed of[00:02:49]
If you stub your toe on the moon [00:02:53]
It may be a blow to your pride [00:02:56]
You're a hero because well you tried [00:03:00]
So don't give up too soon[00:03:04]
If you stub your toe on the moon[00:03:08]
