lyrics

There's a big rock in the sky called the moon
There's a big rock in the sky called the moon
A great bigball of stone
Floatin' around alone
There's a big rock in the sky called the moon

Some people say the moon is made of cheese
Some people say the moon is made of cheese
A big ol’ chunk of cheddar
But you and I know better
No, you just can't make a moon out of cheese

Satellite
King of the night
His royal highness keeping an eye on us
Makin' sure we're alright
Looking down
Goin' round
In only 27 days
He makes his way around the world
Like a giant pearl

The moon gets all his light from the sun
The moon gets all his light from the sun
The sun shines in his face
And that shines on the human race
The moon gets all his light from the sun

Did you know that there's no air on the moon?
That's right, there's no air on the moon
The sky is always clear
'Cause he's got no atmosphere
And I don't think I'll be going there too soon

chorus

The moon has many phases, did you hear?
Sometimes he might seem to disappear
But he's still there alright
Waiting for a little light
Then he can rekindle his career

Some people say the moon looks sad
He's got a face like things are bad
I say he's just fine
A little bit bored after all this time
But goin' strong, chuggin' along
Honored that we sing this song

There's a big rock in the sky called the moon
There's a big rock in the sky called the moon
A great big stony friend
With us til the end
It’s great to have a friend like the moon
It’s great to have a friend like the moon
