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 |
