If You Stub Your Toe On The Moon - Nat King Cole
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
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 you 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
Wait folks don't go 'way yet
Horace MacLowit
He was a poet
Worked in an attic day and night
Sort of fanatic some would say
Much too profound in his obscure way
Tried hard to last out
Laughed at and tossed out
Horace the failure would not grieve
He writes the rhymes
That are cheerful as chimes
On the Christmas cards you receive
No there's nothin' to be ashamed of
If you stub your toe on the moon
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
