What Have They Done To The Moon Lyrics

What have they done
To stardust and moon dreams?
They took the jar
And emptied the moonbeams
That world of fantasy
Just stopped and ceased to be
The day they traveled to the stars
They wrecked the dreams you weave
Next thing they'll have you believe
There ain't no life on Mars

They left the field
But they took the clover
They stopped the cow
From jumping over
They went too far this time
What they did was just a crime
We're gonna have to find a new rhyme
For June
They took away the fun
What have they done to the moon?

Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da
They went too far this time
What they did was just a crime
We're gonna have to find a new rhyme
For June
They took away the fun
What have they done to the moon?

Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Oh, oh, whoa, oh
Da da da da

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
