Man On The Moon - Live From Drivetime On BBC Radio 2 / 2003 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
I'll see you in heaven if you make the list
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
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 you having fun?

[Chorus]
If you believed they put a man on the moon
(Man on the moon)
If you believed there's nothing up his sleeve
Then nothing is cool
[Verse 2]
Moses went walking with a 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

[Bridge]
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 you losing touch?

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

[Verse 3]
Here's a little agit for the never-believer
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
[Bridge]
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 you having fun?

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

If you believed they put a man on the moon
(Man on the moon)
If you believed there's nothing up his 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 his 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 (Nothing)
Then nothing is cool, cool

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
