You told me that the moon was just a big balloon
Full of honey from the heavenly bee
But ever since you left me, baby
That moon ain't nothing but old green cheese
You promised me the sun,
you promised me the moon You promised me a hug and a squeeze
But what did I get,
baby?
Nothing but old green cheese
Every night when the sky is speckled
And freckled by the stars above
Every lover in the light of luna Wants to croon a little tune of love
They call it heaven's light,
master of the night
Well,
you can call it anything that you please But I've just found out,
baby
That moon ain't nothing but old green cheese
Every night when the sky is speckled
I'm haunted by memories
Of the time that astronaut Armstrong Made a lot of history
He said it's quite a leap So then I went to sleep
Because he put my mind at ease
I was sure he'd learn for certain
That moon ain't nothing but old green cheese
I'm a man, honey,
not a mouth
That moon ain't nothing but old green cheese
