"Yeah, I did. I's just in here gettin my tires checked, he just appeared out of the traffic. Come streakin' around the grease rack there, didn't have nothin' on but a smile
I looked in there, and Ethel was gettin' her a cold drink
I hollered, "Don't look, Ethel!" But it was too late. She'd already been mooned
Flashed her right there in front of the shock absorbers."

A Beautiful Morning

Good Sunday Morning.

The Rascals

It's a beautiful morning, ah
I think I'll go outside for a while and just smile
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
(Ain't) no sense in staying inside
If the weather's fine and you got the time
It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand-new day

(Either way) it's a beautiful morning, ah
Each bird keeps singing his own song, so long
I've got to be on my way now
(Ain't) no fun just hanging around
I got to cover ground, you couldn't keep me down
It just ain't no good if the sun shines
When you're still inside (shouldn't hide)
Still inside (shouldn't hide)
Still inside (shouldn't hide)
Still in-, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Oo-ooh-ah-ah
Oo-ooh-ah-ah

There will be children with robins and flowers
Sunshine caresses each new waking hour

Seems to me that people keep seeing more and more each day
(Gotta say) lead the way
(It's okay) brand-new day
(Gotta say) it's okay
Wednesday, Thursday, it's okay

Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oo-ooh-ah-ah
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oo-ooh-ah-ah
Whoa, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oo-ooh-ah-ah
Oh (ooh-ah-ah)
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oo-ooh-ah-ah

Moon Martin of O.K.C. was called Moon because he wrote a lot of songs with the word Moon in them.
