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
