Музыка и слова Джеймса Торнтона/James Thornton (1892).
Everybody has a sweetheart, underneath the rose.
"Everybody loves a body", so the old song goes.
I've a sweetheart. You all know him just as well as me.
Every evening I can see him shortly after tea.
My sweetheart's the man in the moon
I'm going to marry him soon
'Twould fill me with bliss just to give him one kiss
But I know that a dozen I never would miss
I'll go up in a great big balloon
And see my sweetheart in the moon
Then behind some dark cloud, where no one is allowed,
I'll make love to the man in the moon. –
