W:from the touring and recording band The Full English. More lyrics and information about the song

W:-
W:When a bumper is filled, it is vexing, no doubt,
W:To find when you rise that the wine has run out;
W:And sure it's an equally unpleasant thing
W:To be asked for a song when you've naught left to sing.
W:I could sing something old, if an old one would do,
W:But the world it is craving to have something new.
W:But what to select for the words or the tune?
W:I, in fact, know no more than the Man in the Moon.
W:
W:Chorus (after each verse):
W:The Man in the Moon a new light on us throws,
W:He's a man we all talk of but nobody knows.
W:And though a high subject, I'm getting in tune,
W:I'll just sing a song for the Man in the Moon.
W:
W:'Tis said that some people are moonstruck, we find,
W:But the Man in the Moon must be out of his mind.
W:But it can't be for love for he's quite on his own,
W:No ladies to meet him by moonlight alone.
W:It can't be ambition, for rivals he's none,
W:At least he is only eclipsed by the sun,
W:But when drinking, I say, he is seldom surpassed,
W:For he always looks best when he's seen through a glass.
W:
W:The Man in the Moon he must lead a queer life,
W:With no one around him, not even a wife,
W:No friends to console him, no children to kiss,
W:No chance of his joining a party like this.
W:But he's used to high life, for each all circles agree,
W:That none move in such a high circle as he,
W:And though nobles go up in their royal balloon,
W:They're not introduced to the Man in the Moon.
