Pianos on the moon are very long
And played not with fingers, but with song.
A moon-man is dancing step by step
Until he is gets all sweaty and wet.
The others laugh loudly 'bout him,
saying that he's both silly and grim.
But the moon-man tries to stay strong,
Dancing till he explodes like a bomb!


Pianos on the moon are very long
And played not with fingers, but with song
It was tiny green men
I saw playing on them.
And dancing around them were their girls,
Their wrists sparkling with bracelets of pearls.
I guess now you think I'm crazy and wrong
But I simply tell you: Go ask Neil Armstrong!


Pianos on the moon are very long
And played not with fingers but with song
By little green men who sing through the day.
The song goes on and on on the Milky Way!
If you make the journey there somehow
You'll be surprised and just say "Wow" -
Because to be happy can't be wrong;
So dance around to the rhythm of the song.


Pianos on the moon are very long
And played not with fingers, but with song
Old moon glows gently, forgets everything around
As he falls in love with the beautiful sound
Melodies hug him, wrap him in tunes
A lullaby especially performed for moons
His light shone bright, he felt so strong -
But then the sun's music rose, so he was wrong!


Please finish this one:

Pianos on the moon are very long
And played not with fingers, but with song,
Songs rising like spirals in the sky
Make creatures that hear dauntless, not shy.
The speedy melody is surely the key,
To a future of brave beings, not like me....
