Shoot the Moon

Lyrics

[EFFY] Hartford, Houston, Harrisburg Minneapolis, Minnesota Portland, Pittsburgh, Providence Rapid City, South Dakota Say what ya want, say what ya will All of 'em "Care of the Spitfire Grill" [EFFY, spoken] What goes on here? [HANNAH, spoken] Well, not that it's any of your business, Effy But if you must know, I'm running a contest to give away the Grill [HANNAH] Folks out there will pay a price To win a chance at paradise They pray for luck and give the dice a go I'd need a cold day deep in hell Before this grill would ever sell So why not try a hundred bucks a throw? [JOE] It's legal, on the up and up Folks drop their money in the cup And write a little essay on the grill [EFFY] I betcha when the deal goes down She'll be the laughingstock of town And greed is such a bitter little pill [HANNAH] Comes a time to shoot the moon Take a chance, say "What the hell?" Pay to pop the prize balloon Spit into the wishing well Shoot the moon, shoot the moon Life is hard and gone too soon Shoot the moon, shoot the moon Shoot the moon [EFFY] Cincinnati [PERCY & JOE] Shoot the moon [EFFY] Birmingham and Buffalo Amarillo [PERCY & JOE] Shoot the moon [EFFY] Santa Fe, New Mexico Denver, Dallas [PERCY & JOE] Shoot the moon [EFFY] Pistol River, Oregon Tampa, Tulsa [PERCY & JOE] Shoot the moon [EFFY] Saskatoon, Saskatchewan [EFFY, spoken] Insufficient postage! [HANNAH] Comes a time to shoot the moon Place your dollar on a dare Drown it in a cheap saloon Soon you'll be too drunk to care [PERCY, HANNAH & JOE] Shoot the moon, shoot the moon Life is hard and gone too soon Shoot the moon, shoot the moon Shoot the moon [SHELBY] Cleveland, Concord, Corpus Christi Indianapolis, Indiana Chattanooga, Chattahoochie Baton Rouge, Louisiana [PERCY, SHELBY & HANNAH] Nashville, Knoxville, New York Albany and Austin Madison, Memphis, Mobile Baltimore and Boston [EFFY, spoken] Gangway! [HANNAH, spoken] Oh, what now, Effy? [EFFY, spoken] One side, ladies Back up, back up, back up, back up! [HANNAH, spoken] Don't rearrange my furniture [EFFY, spoken] I hope you're happy now, Hannah Ferguson Look at all this mail! [SHELBY, spoken] Holy Moses [PERCY, spoken] Holy mackerel [HANNAH, spoken] Holy shit! [HANNAH, PERCY, SHELBY & JOE, spoken] Ho ho ho ho ho ho Ah Whee whee whee whee whee whee [ALL] Comes a time to shoot the moon Strike it while the iron's hot It may last an afternoon You can say you took a shot! Shoot the moon, shoot the moon Life is hard and gone too soon Shoot the moon, shoot the moon Shoot the moon Shoot the moon, shoot the moon Life is hard and gone too soon Shoot the moon, shoot the moon Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot the moon!
