The Moon-Man Newfie

You might think it's goofy

But the man in the moon is a Newfie

And he's sailing on to glory

Away in the golden dory

He's sailing on to glory

Away in the golden dory

Cod Fish Dan from Newfoundland

He dreamt that he had three wishes

And he took Mars and all the stars

And he turned 'em into big fishes

He said the sky was much too dry

And he made a wavy motion

And the moon, like a boat, began to float

Upon the starry ocean

And you might think it's goofy

But the man in the moon is a Newfie

And he's sailing on to glory

Away in the golden dory

Sailing on to glory

Away in the golden dory

One night he strayed to the Milky Way

To cast his nets upon it

He spied the tail of a great big whale

And he harpooned Haley's Comet

He never had a pot for the fish that he caught

So, he had to use the Big Dipper

And the sun, by Jove, was a very good stove

For cooking up smelts and kippers

And you might think it's goofy

But the man in the moon is a Newfie

And he's sailing on to glory

Away in the golden dory

He's sailing on to glory

Away in the golden dory

Now the Northern Lights that seem so bright

Like nothing could be grander

Well, they're just waves that the moon boat made

By the Newfoundland commander

And don't you sigh and say, oh my

What gross exaggerations

'Cause he'll tell you the dream was true

When Cod Fish Dan awakens

And you might think it's goofy

But the man in the moon is a Newfie

And he's sailing on to glory

Away in the golden dory

He's sailing on to glory

Away in the golden dory

You might think it's goofy

But the man in the moon is a Newfie

And he's sailing on to glory

Away in the golden dory

Sailing on to glory

Away in the golden dory
