| Oh there’s nothing to be ashamed of
|
| If you stub your toe on the moon
|
| When the dream’s at the top of the sky
|
| Well, you’ll just have to jump pretty high
|
| But don’t give up too soon
|
| If you stub your toe on the moon
|
| Now young Harry Hodgett loved making gadgets
|
| Life needs some new things was his claim
|
| Hope one or two things might bring fame
|
| This is the last time you’ll hear his name
|
| Nobody mentions Harry’s inventions
|
| But do you think that got him down?
|
| Here comes the end when there’re gadgets to mend
|
| He’s the best repairman in town
|
| So there’s nothing to be ashamed of
|
| If you stub your toe on the moon
|
| When you start out to climb to a cloud
|
| Well, it may get a laugh from the crowd
|
| But don’t give up too soon
|
| If you stub your toe on the moon
|
| Sweet Sally Springer, she was a singer
|
| Lived in a hall room up one flight
|
| Thought of the ballroom big and bright
|
| Where she would make her debut some night
|
| And then for her trouble, pop went the bubble
|
| Say that it’s sad, but wait, don’t weep
|
| Now they admit, every night she’s a hit
|
| When she sings her children to sleep
|
| No, there’s nothing to be ashamed of
|
| If you stub your toe on the moon
|
| Though it may be a blow to your pride
|
| You’re a hero because, well, you tried
|
| So don’t give up too soon
|
| If you stub your toe on the moon
|
| If you stub your toe on the moon |
