Just noticed that even arguably one of the greatest rock lyricist ever, Keith Reed (from Procol Harum) was brave enough to rhyme moon-June.
Still A Salty Dog is one of the greatest songs ever. There's something unexplainable great about it.

Didn´t think of that one,Taxman; well done! You´re right, it´s a great song, though the lyric goes more like this, I think:-
How many moons and many Junes have passed since we made land?

Yes, he had one of the great voices of prog rock and could convey real passion and conviction. In fact, I have a real weakness for singers who seem to be desperately telling me something that I can´t understand; Beefheart does that too.
Back on topic, nothing Beefheartian about these songs:-
Tonight Tonight by New Kids On The Block
Tonight I´m Loving You by Enrique Iglesias and
Tonight I´m Getting Over You by Carly Rae Jepson
