If the Man in the Moon Were a Coon

[No disparagement intended.]

by Ada Jones, in 1907


If the Man in the Moon Were a Coon

by Fred Fischer
[Verse 1]

Say, Jasper, 'taint no use talking even though you talk from now till noon

Don't try to tell me, Mister Know-it-all a coon is up in the moon

Why! a nigger, with his brown figure, cert'n'y drakens up the silv'ry moon

Wake up! you're dreaming with you eyes aglare you great big foolish coon

[Chorus]

If the man in the moon were a coon, coon, coon, what would you do?

He would fade with his shade the silv'ry moon, moon, moon, away from you

No roaming 'round the park at night, no spooning in the bright moon light

If the man in the moon were a coon, coon, coon

[Verse 2]

Most ev'ry one has heard stories that a chicken is a coon's delight

Just think the danger to a hen roost with that good old moon out of sight

'Deed! chicken would be soft pickin' if that man up in the moon were black

Oh, my! the harvest for that darkey with that great big sack on his back

[Chorus]

If the man in the moon were a coon, coon, coon, what would you do?

He would fade with his shade the silv'ry moon, moon, moon, away from you

No roaming 'round the park at night, no spooning in the bright moon light

If the man in the moon were a coon, coon, coon
