Look What Got Me Searching
While looking at the full moon all a glow
I made a discovery that shook me to the bone.
A beautiful young oriental with a rabbit had
Me wanting to know
Of this person's woe
And why was she all alone?
While looking at the moon all a glow
I was wondering from here below
Who was this lady who was out of her zone.
A beautiful young oriental with a rabbit had
Me wanting to know.
How she got from to to fro.
I started a search on my phone
While looking at the full moon all a glow.
Her name is Chang-o her husband Hou-yi
Worked for the Jade Emperor as an archer
Who was rewarded with an immortal elixir.
While her husband was out hunting Peng Meng
Came to steal it even if he had to deal a death blow
He would have it. Surprise! Chang-o had backbone
This beautiful young oriental with a rabbit didn't
Let him know
She drank the elixir to over throw
Evil which immediately flew her and her pet
Rabbit to the moon to enshrine her as the goddess
Of the moon for which she is now known.
While looking at the full moon all a glow
A beautiful young oriental with a rabbit had me
Searching to know.
