No. 8 - Concerted Number - "The Moon"
| San Toy: | Have you heard there's a girl in the moon? |
| Chorus: | Not a word! How absurd To have girls on the moon. |
| San Toy: | I have often been told Of her garment of gold And her shimmering silver shoon, And she carries a spangl'd fan. |
| Chorus: | So fair! |
| San Toy: | But she drops it when she can |
| Chorus: | Oh, where? |
| San Toy: | On the ebb and flow Of the tide below, That follows her like a man. |
| Chorus: | Take care! Take care! |
| San Toy: | Maid in the moon, Maid in the moon, Grant in benignity Riches and dignity! All that we ask for a holiday boon, Maid in the moon, Maid in the moon! |
| Chorus: | Maid in the moon, Maid in the moon! Grant in benignity Riches and dignity! All that we ask for a holiday boon, |
| San Toy: | Maid in the moon, Maid in the moon! |
| Bobbie: | Do you know there's a man in the moon? |
| Chorus: | Is it so? Will you show us the man in the moon? |
| Bobbie: | For it's easy to trace Ev'ry line of his face On a beautiful night in June. I can show you his lantern now, |
| Chorus: | We see! |
| Bobbie: | And his brush with its leafy bough, |
| Chorus: | A tree |
| Bobbie: | And his dog that's said to be so well bred, He never remarks bow-wow! |
| Chorus: | Dear me! Dear me! |
| Bobbie: | Moon, moon, Man in the moon, Kindly attend to us, Pack up and send to us Something of value, Send it soon, Moon, moon, Man in the moon. |
| Chorus: | Moon, moon, Man in the moon, Kindly attend to us, Pack up and send to us Something of value, Send it soon, Moon, moon, Man in the moon. |
| Poppy: | There are two, I should think, in the moon. |
| Chorus: | If it's true Will it do To have two in the moon? |
| Poppy: | And I think you will own As they're there all alone That they ought to be married soon! |
| Dudley: | They will live in the sky afar, |
| Chorus: | For aye |
| Dudley: | And be happy as mortals are, |
| Chorus: | They may! |
| Dudley: | And we soon may hope Through the telescope For a new little double star! |
| Chorus: | Hooray! Hooray! |
| San Toy: | Sweet honeymoon, Sweet honeymoon, Shining above for us, Show us your love for us, Drop us a gift from your fairy balloon, Sweet honeymoon, Sweet honeymoon! |
| Chorus: | Sweet honeymoon, Sweet honeymoon, Shining above for us, Show us your love for us, Drop us a gift from your fairy balloon, |
| San Toy: | Sweet honeymoon, Sweet honeymoon! |
