Man in the Sky

[00:00.05] There once was a girl in the olden days
[00:05.54] Grew weary of men with a roving gaze -
[00:11.05] 'Farewell, fickle lovers; goodbye, goodbye,
[00:14.67] For I'm falling in love with the man in the sky.'
[00:21.17] The man in the sky, he walks in haste
[00:24.74] With three bright buckles around his waist
[00:28.37] And a great dog near and a little dog nigh
[00:33.78] And a steady gleam in his golden eye.
[00:41.98] The girl went out on a windy hill
[00:45.53] And cried when the night was dark and still -
[00:50.93] 'Come down! come down! you man in the sky,
[00:54.68] Or else I am likely to pine and die.'
[01:00.26] The man in the sky didn't stop to talk;
[01:03.82] He went right on with his evening walk
[01:07.48] And the great dog howled and the little dog whined
[01:12.92] And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd.
[01:21.06] She took to her bed from the light of the sun,
[01:24.70] But when the sun his course had run
[01:28.47] She went to her window so high, so high,
[01:32.93] And waited and watched Orion go by.
[01:39.36] The man in the sky, he walked in haste
[01:42.96] With three bright buckles around his waist
[01:46.51] And a great dog near and a little dog nigh
[01:51.99] And a gleam for her in his golden eye.
[01:59.23] One night she stood on her windowsill
[02:02.82] And stepped right out on the highest hill
[02:07.37] And climbed to the place where the planets are
[02:10.93] And jumped from there to the nearest star.
[02:17.33] She rocked in Cassiopeia's chair
[02:20.95] And waked the dragon and roused the bear
[02:24.53] And the great dog howled and the little dog whined
[02:30.09] And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd.
[02:37.29] She found Orion at last, and then
[02:40.89] She found he was just like other men.
[02:45.36] When on his shoulder her head she'd lay
[02:49.96] His eye was a million miles away.
[02:56.83] The great dog howled and the little dog whined
[03:00.44] And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd
[03:04.14] And the dragon snarled and the lion roared
[03:09.52] And the stars flew by in a golden horde.
[03:17.77] This tale has a moral brief to tell;
[03:21.38] And I won't go on, for you know it well.
[03:25.80] Remember the girl in the days gone by
[03:30.34] Who fell in love with the man in the sky.
[03:36.70] She rocked in Cassiopeia's chair
[03:40.37] And waked the dragon and roused the bear;
[03:43.96] And where they buried her I forget,
[03:49.37] But the man in the sky isn't married yet.
