Stompin' Tom Connors - The Moon-Man Newfie Lyrics

You might think its goofie, but the man in the moon is a Newfie|And he's sailin on to glory, away in the golden dory....(x2)||Codfish Dan from Newfoundland he dreamt that he had tree wishes|And he took mars and all the stars and he turned them into big fishes|He said the sky was much too dry and he made a wavy motion|And the moon like a boat began to float upon the starry ocean||Chorus:|You might think its goofie, but the man in the moon is a Newfie|And he's sailin on to glory, away in the golden dory....(x2)||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 Haleys comet||He never had a pot for the fish that he caught so he had to use the big dipper|And the sun by jove was a very good stove for cookin up smelts and kippers||Chorus:|You might think its goofie, but the man in the moon is a Newfie|And he's sailin on to glory, away in the golden dory....(x2)||Now the northern lights that seem so bright like nothin could be grander|Well they're just waves that the moon-boat made by the Newfoundland Commander!|And don't you sigh and say oh my 'What gross exagerration!'|Cause he'll tell you the dream was true when Codfish Dan awakens||Chorus:|You might think its goofie, but the man in the moon is a Newfie|And he's sailin on to glory, away in the golden dory....(x2)||
