Stompin' Tom Connors - The man in the moon is a newfie

^DYou might think it's ^Ggoofy But the ^A7man in the moon is a ^DNewfie And he's sailing on to ^Gglory, a ^A7way in the golden ^Ddory He's sailing on to ^Gglory, a ^A7way in the golden ^Ddory

He ^Adreamt that he had three ^Dwishes And he took Mars and all the stars And ^Aturned them into big ^Dfishes He said the sky was much too dry And he ^Amade a wavy ^Dmotion And the moon like a boat began to float Up ^Aon the starry ^Docean

To ^Acast his nets up ^Don it He spied the tail of a great big whale And he ^Aharpooned Halley's ^DComet He never had a pot for the fish that he caught So he ^Ahad to use the Big ^DDipper And the sun, by jove, was a very good stove For ^Acooking up smelts and ^Dkippers

Like ^Anothing could be ^Dgrander Well, they're just waves of the moon-boat made By the ^ANewfoundland com ^Dmander And don't you sigh and say, "Oh, my What ^Agross exagger ^Dation!" 'Cause he'll tell you the dream was true When ^ACodfish Dan a ^Dwakens.
