Everybody Gets to Go to the Moon (Live at Bailey’s, London, England - 1975)

[Verse 1]
How many times have I been downhearted
Looked up and saw him smiling like a shining dime? (Yeah)
And hoped that he would stay and tell me
Why he was so happy if he had the time?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh I wish, there was a way to race him
Catch a flying horse and chase him

[Chorus]
Everybody’s going to the moon (Get on it, now)
Everybody’s going; it'll be quite soon

[Post-Chorus 1]
It's customary in songs like this, to use the word like "spoon"
By the light of the silvery
We'll take a flight to the silvery
You know, everybody's going to the moon

[Verse 2]
How many times whilе looking down
Has he heard us singing songs, and wonderеd who we were (I dunno!)
And envied us, because the lady in the moon is gone
And now he misses her

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And then he wondered to himself
"Now why is it we so seldom pay a visit?"

[Chorus]
Everybody gets to go to the moon, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody's got to go, it'll be quite soon

[Post-Chorus 2]
It's customary in songs like this, to use a month like June (Now can you dig it?)
By the light of the silvery
We'll take a flight to the silvery
You know, everybody's going to the moon

[Break - Spoken]
Now, don't you think it's a miracle? (A miracle?)
That we're the generation (Oh, we'll be!)
That's gonna one day populate the moon (We are?)
And that's gonna be fun! (Yeah!) (Ha, ha, ha!)

[Bridge]
And it’s got to make you glad to be alive
Yes, it’s got to make you proud to be alive, 'live, 'live
Woo!

Uh-huh, yeah
Woo, Hoo!

[Chorus]
Everybody’s going to the moon, yeah
Everybody’s going to the moon

[Verse 3]
Well how many times have I heard a cynic say
"I was a fool to try and reach for him"
Or heard a dreamer say "The skies' the limit"
And just had to laugh at each for him

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Oh, I suppose the point is only
That in orbit it's no longer lonely (Look out, now!)

[Chorus]
Everybody’s going to the moon (Come on baby, ay-ay)
Everybody’s going; gonna be quite soon

[Post-Chorus 3]
It's customary in songs like this, to use the word like "spoon"
By the light of the silvery
We'll take a flight to the silvery
You know, everybody's going to the moon
