From the recording If You Stub Your Toe on the Moon
Lyrics
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 Hadgett loved making gadgets Life needs some new things was his claimHoped one or two things might bring fameThis is the last time you'll hear his nameNobody mentions Harry's inventionsBut do you think that got him down?Here comes the end when there's gadgets to mendHe's the best repairman in town
So there's nothing to be ashamed ofIf you stub your toe on the moonWhen you start out to climb to a cloudWell, it may get a laugh from the crowdBut don't give up too soon, If you stub your toe on the moon
Sweet Sally Springer, she was a singerLived in a hall room up one flightThought of the ballroom big and brightWhere she would make her debut some nightAnd then for her trouble, pop went the bubbleSay that it's sad, but wait, don't weepNow they admit, every night she's a hitWhen she sings her children to sleep
No, there's nothing to be ashamed ofIf you stub your toe on the moonThough it may be a blow to your prideYou're a hero because, well, you triedSo don't give up too soonIf you stub your toe on the moonIf you stub your toe on the moon
