about

An observational song written on the river banks of Louisiana that encourages listeners that no matter your age, it is never too late to wish on the Man in the Moon.

lyrics

A woman dressed in blue
Sits down next to me
John says he's moving to LA
Around September 23
She questions John about his age
He replies, "I''m 28"
She says, "You hold your age well"
He says, "I don't act it so great"

Oh no, no, no, no.
I confess, I'm stuck on you.
I'm in love with the Man in the Moon.

They're making fantasies and dreams
down by the river
They call it the Man in the Moon
and the moon is only a sliver tonight
(X2)

Well, Debbie says she's 37
but acts like she's 16
Jason says he just might move to LA
cus' he thinks he might jive on that scene
There's some blags
sitting on the steps
they're talking 'bout some kind of recession
I walk by and state
"I'm not a crook"
and that's my best impression

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I confess, I'm stuck on you
I'm in love with the Man in the Moon

They're making fantasies and dreams
down by the river
They call it the Man in the Moon
and the moon is only a sliver tonight
(X2)

I'm sta' to the flo'
Can't go no mo'
Trying everything to get out the do'
(I'm moon Walken!)
Sta' to the flo'
Now, my legs are so'
What am I gonna do
If I'm sta' on you?
Sta' to the flo'
What I'm gonna do?
Sta' to the flo-
Yeah, I'm sta', too!
I'm sta' to the flo'
What I'm gonna do?
What I'm gonna do
with gumsta' on my shoe?

They're making fantasies and dreams
down by the river
They call it the Man in the Moon
and the moon is only a sliver tonight
(X3)

I confess, I'm stuck on you.
I'm in love with the Man in the Moon.

Walken out
