Murray McLauchlan - Moonlighting lyrics

There's you standing on the swing bridge I'm the captain on the ship below But at six o'clock I'll get a taxi on the dock And be an actor in a T.V. show Well the crew don't know And you don't know And I don't think you should You'd be scared to be standing there And the crew'd jump ship for good. Moonlightin' that's the thing for me Moonlightin' don't allow no sleep Well there's no business like show business And sailin' on the roving sea. Maybe I'm partly crazy Maybe I'm partly cat I figure if one life is good More lives must be better than that I'm the captain of a ship I can write a script I'm an actor when the work comes And any actor in Canada Ought to have more jobs than one. Moonlightin' that's the thing for me Moonlightin' don't allow no sleep Well there's no business like show business And sailin' on the roving sea. Sometimes I wonder what's comin' I wonder what's down the line Maybe I'll be rich and famous But it likely wouldn't change my mind I do love to drive those freighters And I do love those bright lights Hope the next show ain't no turkey And I stay off the rocks tonight Moonlightin' that's the thing for me Moonlightin' don't allow no sleep Well there's no business like show business And sailin' on the roving sea.
