(tune: Clementine)
 
On the launch pad, on the launch pad,
We can see for miles around.
In a second we have lift-off
With our ship high off the ground.
 
CHORUS:
Into space now, into space now
Heading for the great unknown.
Shooting stars with tails blazing.
This could be the twilight zone,
 
Total darkness now surrounds us
And our bodies have no weight.
Oh my goodness!  There's my napkin,
Cup and saucer and my plate.
 
CHORUS
 
There's the moon now right before us
Glowing silvery and gray.
How I long to tale a picture
But my camera floats away.
 
CHORUS
 
Moving onward through the darkness
Where the stars so brightly shine.
I'm amazed at what's before us.
So I continue down the line.
 
CHORUS
