Malt Shop on the Moon: An Ode to the Rat Pack and Old Swing Music

so this is a weird song that I had to explain
cause not a lot of people are gonna know what it’s about
but growing up I was a big fan of the rat pack
so Dean Martin Frank Sinatra
Sammy Davis Jr um
Joe I always forget his name
the other one and Jerry Lewis as well
and so I thought I would try and write a kind of a croony song
sort of a bit old school swinger
but I’ve got a cold and um
that is like the worst time
my hair is ridiculous the worst time to be singing this kind of song
plus it’s like 11 at night
but I don’t know I kinda had to get it out
so this this is my song
Malt shop on the moon and it’s an ode to the rat pack and old swing music
I’m on a high like a hot air balloon
I’ve been looking for a place to land
I’ve got a spot in mind
I’d leave it all behind
for that malt shop on the moon
oh I’d swing to a Sonata
with Martin and Sinatra
you can bet Sammy will be there too
when things on earth get heavy space
will be there for me
oh Jerry I’ll be joining you soon
in a spaceship fashioned from a cardboard box
save me a whiskey on the rocks
when I pit stop at Saturn’s five star saloon
a vino with Deano
he said it ain’t as good as Reno
but I guess it will do
so if you’re feeling low
you know the place to go
set em up Joe and here’s to you
oh I’m heading for that malt shop
I’m flying and I can’t stop till I get to that malt shop on the moon
on the moon
oh I’m heading for that malt shop
I’m flying and I can’t stop till I get to that malt shop
on the moon
oh yeah
