You might think it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie

And he's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory

He's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory



Cod Fish Dan from Newfoundland, he dreamt he three wishes

And he took Mars and all the stars, and he turned them into big fishes

He said they sky was much to dry, and he made a wavey motion

And the Moon like a boat began to float upon the starry ocean



And You might think it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie

And he's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory

He's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory



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 Haley's Comit

He never had a pot for the fish that he cought, so he had to use the Big Dipper

And the sun by Jove was a very good stove, for cooking up Smelts and Kippers



And You might think it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie

And he's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory

He's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory



Now the Northern Lights that seemed to bright like nothing could be grander

Well they're just waves of the moon boat made by the Newfoundland Commander

And don't you sigh and say "Oh my, what gross exaderation"

Cause he'll tell you the dream was true when Cod Fish Dan awakens



And You might think it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie

And he's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory

He's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory



You might think it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie

And he's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory

He's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory



Sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory
