ROOTY TOOT TOOT FOR THE MOON 
Greg Brown
[Verse 1]
The whole Gkit'in caboodle is in disrepair
CThere's nowhere to go that's not here
All the  Dcaptains and cuckoos from here to Timbuktu
GAre counting Ctheir dough in the Dmirror
DAre counting their dough in the Gmirror
[Chorus]
GSinging rooty toot toot for the moon
It’s the Cbiggest star I've ever seen
It's a Dpearl of wisdom, a slice of green cheese
And it's GBurning just Clike KerosenDe, and it's burning just like KeroGsene
[Verse 2]
He was Gjust a young white kid trying to sing black and tough
Cwith gravel and spit on his voice
He Dlaughed at the songs we sang, the radio laughed too
GAnd we lift up our Carms and Drejoiced
DAnd we lift up our arms and Grejoiced
[Chorus]
GSinging rooty toot toot for the moon
It’s the Cbiggest star I've ever seen
It's a Dpearl of wisdom, a slice of green cheese
And it's GBurning just Clike KerosenDe, and it's burning just like KeroGsene
[Verse 3]
So God Gbless motorcycles and all those far out trifles
CYou know you can't memorize Zen
DHang your hat on your nose don't hide in your clothes
Smile at Gsomeone, Cbegin to Dbegin
DSmile at someone, begin to Gbegin
[Chorus]
GSinging rooty toot toot for the moon
It’s the Cbiggest star I've ever seen
It's a Dpearl of wisdom, a slice of green cheese
And it's GBurning just Clike KerosenDe, and it's burning just like KeroGsene

All the captains and cuckoos from here to Timbuktu

G C D

Are counting their dough in the mirror

Are counting their dough in the mirror

It’s the biggest star I've ever seen

It's a pearl of wisdom, a slice of green cheese

G C D G

And it's Burning just like Kerosene, and it's burning just like Kerosene

He was just a young white kid trying to sing black and tough

He laughed at the songs we sang, the radio laughed too

G C D

And we lift up our arms and rejoiced

And we lift up our arms and rejoiced

Singing rooty toot toot for the moon

It’s the biggest star I've ever seen

Smile at someone, begin to begin

[Chorus]

Singing rooty toot toot for the moon

It’s the biggest star I've ever seen

It's a pearl of wisdom, a slice of green cheese
