Come and take a trip in my rocket ship
We’ll have a lovely afternoon
Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly
Destination moon
Travel fast as light ’til we’re lost from sight
The earth is like a toy balloon
What a thrill you get ridin’ on a jet
Destination moon
We’ll go up, up, up, up, straight to the moon,
we two High in the starry blue,
I’ll be out of this world with you So away
we steal in a space mobile
A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your cares below,
pull the switch, let’s go!
Destination moon
Into the milky way we’ll wander while we
watch the folks down yonder
Oh, we’re gonna have a lovely afternoon
(Instrumental Interlude –
last two lines of verse)
Up on the highest constellation we’ll look
out across the nation ‘
Cause the earth is like a tiny toy balloon
(Instrumental — last two lines of verse)
So away we steal in a space mobile
A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your cares below,
pull the switch, let’s go!
