The Ongoing Story of Mighty Joe Moon Songtext / Lyric

Mighty Joe Moon
The fishermen croon
Will be resurrected
And sing out of tune.
And talkin' in tongues
Sharp as harpoons
The fishers and fishes sing
Might Joe Moon.
From the hour of midnight
To the late afternoon
Drifting on (? some brand of) pontoons
Once Mighty Joe
Was an oil tycoon
He fell victim like many
To the national saloon
And he sank to the bottom
Low as Neptune
And the divers went down into the lagoon
But they ran out of air
And they came up to soon
Their lungs full of water
Like water balloons
Mighty Joe held
In his coral coccoon
Will be resurrected
And sing out of tune.
This is the story
Of Mighty Joe Moon.
