The Kingston Trio — A Much Better View of the Moon

I used to walk through this world Cautious, and oh so serious Till the life I was living was nearly, a near death experience But I changed my story, when I finally saw Where I was wasn't where it was at And now I'm alive, I let destiny drive And I'm stretching out in the back If I lose my job I'll sleep till noon If the news is bad I'll watch cartoons And if my house burns down I'll have lots more room And a much better view of the moon In the vastness of space The ever expanding universe Wе are all puny specks of galactic dust Herе on Mother Earth Now I ain't no preacher Don't know if I'll reach ya But here is some humble advice Use your uncommon sense And you surely will live An uncommonly sensible life If you lose your job Sleep till noon If the news is bad Watch cartoons And if your house burns down You'll have lots more room And a much better view of the moon Now I ain't no preacher Don't know if I'll reach ya But here is some humble advice Use your uncommon sense And you surely will live An uncommonly sensible life If you lose your job Sleep till noon If the news is bad Watch cartoons And if your house burns down You'll have lots more room And a much better view of the moon If I lose my job I'll sleep till noon If the news is bad I'll watch cartoons And if my house burns down I'll have lots more room And a much better view of the moon Yeah a much better view Of the moon
