hangin' around the observatory

Singer:hiatt, john

hangin' around the observatory. we were waitin' to see the moon. well we thought that we was all gypsies

come to escape these lousy ruins. well that telescope; that mighty eye. it's bigger

professor

i forgot how it looks. could i just take another peak?

is there really a man who lives up there?

is it all green cheese so to speak?

well now listen boy. these are the facts. the moon is white. the sky is black. and you are a speck on this crummy earth

and a dollar and a half is all you're worth. why did i come here?

let all the tender scientist

get lost in poetry. and let all these moist romantic guys

turn back to history. hangin' around the observatory. waitin' to see the moon. well we thought that we was gypsies

come to escape these lousy ruins.
