Lyrics

The sun whose rays are all ablaze with ever living glory
Does not deny his majesty he scorns to tell a story
He doth exclaim I blush for shame so kindly be indulgent
But fierce and bold in fiery gold he glories all effulgent
I mean to rule the earth as he the sky
We really know our worth the sun and I
I mean to rule the earth as he the sky
we really know our worth the sun and I
Observe his flame that placid dame the moon's celestial highness
There's not a trace upon her face of diffidence or shyness
She borrows light that through the night mankind may all acclaim her
And truth to tell she lights up well so I for one don't blame her
Ah pray make no mistake we are not shy
We're very wide awake the moon and I
Ah pray make no mistake we are not shy
We're very wide awake the moon and I
Written by: Sir Arthur Sullivan, W.S. Gilbert
