(Note: The lyrics listed here are not the same as in the recording, apparently due to differences between the published sheet music and the actual recording. Chiefly, in the actual recorded song, the lyrics match this version.)

The music was by Ralph Butler. The lyrics were by Cumberland Clark.

Nimoy Fashion Forensics:
Are the shooting locations of Ogopogo and Astrology the same place? I think the yellow house with verticle exterior planking looks very much like it's the same building and setting.  We will keep an eye on this to see if further clues emerge!
