Mame: The Man in the Moon

Oh, Vera, I can't wait to hear that overture. Tell me about the show!

Well... well, it's this terribly modern operetta about a lady astronomer
Who makes a universe-shaking discovery!

I have a little secret I'd like to impart
That I hope doesn't give you too much of a start

Though it's shocking
It's completely true

I know it isn't gossip, or rumor, of course
For I've had it from quite a reliable source

And I'd like to
Pass it on to you

The man in the moon is a lady
A lady with lipstick and curls
The cow that jumped ovah
Cried "Jumpin' Jehovah
I think it's just one of the girls!"
She winks at the stars
From her bed of green cheese
That isn't a nightgown
It's a Saturn chemise

Oh, her friends are the stars and the planets
She sends the Big Dipper a kiss
So don't ever offend her
Remember her gender
The man in the moon is a miss
