Man in the Moon - Live in Chicago / 1995 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mott the Hoople and the Game of Life
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Andy Kaufman in the wrestling match
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Monopoly, Twenty-One, checkers and chess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Fred Blassie in a breakfast mess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's play Twister, let’s play Risk
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
See you in heaven if you make the list
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
So, Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby
Are we havin' fun?

[Chorus]
If you believed they put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed there's nothing up my sleeve
Then nothing is cool
[Verse 2]
Moses went walking with the staff of wood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Newton got beaned by the apple good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Charles Darwin had the balls to ask
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
So, Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey, Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby
Are we losin’ touch?

[Chorus]
If you believed they put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed there's nothing up my sleeve
Then nothing is cool
Cool!

[Bridge]
Here's a little agit for the never-believers
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Here's a little ghost for the offering
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Here's a truck stop instead of Saint Peter's
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Andy Kaufman's gone wrestling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
So, Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey, Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby
Are we losing touch?

[Chorus]
If you believed they put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed there's nothing up my sleeve
Then nothing is cool (nothing)
Cool!

[Outro]
If you believed they put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed there’s nothing up my sleeve
Then nothing is cool (nothing)
If you believed they put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed there’s nothing up my sleeve
Then nothing is cool (nothing)
If you believed they put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed there's nothing up my sleeve
Then nothing is cool (nothing)
Cool!
[Outro, spoken]
Thank you
