You might tink it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie,
And he's sailin' on to glory, away in da golden dory;
He's sailin' on to glory, away in da golden dory.
Cod Fish Dan from Newfoundland, he dreamt that he three wishes;
And he took Mars and all da stars, and he turned 'em into big fishes.
He said the sky was much to dry, and he made a wavy motion;
And the Moon like a boat began to float upon the starry ocean.
And you might tink it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie,
And he's sailin' on to glory, away in da golden dory;
Sailin' on to glory, away in da 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 da fish that he caught, so he had to use da Big Dipper,
And the sun by Jove was a very good stove, for cooking up smelts and gippers.
And you might tink it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie,
And he's sailin' on to glory, away in da golden dory;
He's sailin' on to glory, away in da golden dory.
Now the Northern Lights that seemed to bright like nothin' could be grander;
Well they're just waves of 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 tink it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie,
And he's sailin' on to glory, away in da golden dory;
He's sailin' on to glory, away in da golden dory.
You might tink it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie,
And he's sailin' on to glory, away in da golden dory;
Sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory.
