Beautiful Earth

From 2008. The title/line in the chorus was inspired by Bugs Bunny commenting on the lunar view in 1948’s “Haredevil Hare.”

Words and music by Joseph Abbott

This night won’t last forever
But two weeks is just fine
Let’s spend it all together
My lunar Valentine
So put on your excursion suit
We’ll go outside and have a hoot

CHORUS: There’s a beautiful Earth out tonight
You’re a heavenly sight in the helmet light
There’s a beautiful Earth out tonight
Let’s go dancing…

I hope you brought the honey
‘Cause we’ve got lots of moon
It took a bit of money
But we won’t forget this soon
So won’t you come along with me
We’ll go and dance in one-sixth gee CHORUS

The moon is just the start, you’ll see
The stars are calling you and me CHORUS x2

Let’s go dancing in one-sixth gee
Let’s go dancing in one-sixth gee
Let’s go dancing in one-sixth gee
Let’s go dancing…
