《If You Stub Your Toe On the Moon》歌词

[00:00:00] If You Stub Your Toe On the Moon - Nat King Cole (纳·京·高尔)

[00:00:14] Oh there's nothing to be ashamed of

[00:00:18] If you stub your toe on the moon

[00:00:22] When the dream's at the top of the sky

[00:00:26] Well you'll just have to jump pretty high

[00:00:30] But don't give up too soon

[00:00:34] If you stub your toe on the moon

[00:00:38] Young Harry Hodgetts loved making gadgets

[00:00:42] Life needs some new things was his claim

[00:00:46] Hope one or two things might bring fame

[00:00:49] This is the last time you'll hear his name

[00:00:54] Nobody mentions Harry's inventions

[00:00:58] But do you think that got him down

[00:01:01] Here comes the end

[00:01:02] When you gadgets to mend

[00:01:05] He's the best repairman in town

[00:01:08] So there's nothing to be ashamed of

[00:01:12] If you stub your toe on the moon

[00:01:16] When you start out to climb to a cloud

[00:01:20] Well it may get a laugh from the crowd

[00:01:23] But don't give up too soon

[00:01:27] If you stub your toe on the moon

[00:01:39] Sweet Sally Springer she was a singer

[00:01:44] Lived in a hall room up one flight

[00:01:47] Thought of the ballroom big and bright

[00:01:51] Where she would make her debut some night

[00:01:55] Then for her trouble pop went the bubble

[00:01:59] Say that it's sad but wait don't weep

[00:02:02] Now they admit every night she's a hit

[00:02:06] When she sings her children to sleep

[00:02:14] Wait folks don't go 'way yet

[00:02:18] Horace MacLowit

[00:02:20] He was a poet

[00:02:22] Worked in an attic day and night

[00:02:25] Sort of fanatic some would say

[00:02:29] Much too profound in his obscure way

[00:02:33] Tried hard to last out

[00:02:35] Laughed at and tossed out

[00:02:37] Horace the failure would not grieve

[00:02:40] He writes the rhymes

[00:02:42] That are cheerful as chimes

[00:02:44] On the Christmas cards you receive

[00:02:47] No there's nothin' to be ashamed of

[00:02:51] If you stub your toe on the moon

[00:02:55] It may be a blow to your pride

[00:02:59] You're a hero because well you tried

[00:03:03] So don't give up too soon

[00:03:07] If you stub your toe on the moon
