Oh there's nothing to be ashamed of
If you stub your toe on the moon
When the dream's at the top of the sky
Well, you'll just have to jump pretty high
But don't give up too soon
If you stub your toe on the moon
Now young Harry Hodgett loved making gadgets
Life needs some new things was his claim
Hope one or two things might bring fame
This is the last time you'll hear his name
Nobody mentions Harry's inventions
But do you think that got him down?
Here comes the end when there're gadgets to mend
He's the best repairman in town
So there's nothing to be ashamed of
If you stub your toe on the moon
When you start out to climb to a cloud
Well, it may get a laugh from the crowd
But don't give up too soon
If you stub your toe on the moon

Sweet Sally Springer, she was a singer
Lived in a hall room up one flight
Thought of the ballroom big and bright
Where she would make her debut some night
And then for her trouble, pop went the bubble
Say that it's sad, but wait, don't weep
Now they admit, every night she's a hit
When she sings her children to sleep
No, there's nothing to be ashamed of
If you stub your toe on the moon
Though it may be a blow to your pride
You're a hero because, well, you tried
So don't give up too soon
If you stub your toe on the moon
If you stub your toe on the moon
