Up in the sky, where the stars shine bright,

That’s where I will be;

Enjoying the thrills of outer space,

And all there is to see.

A quick trip to Mars,

Is the first place I will go!

Then it’s off to see Saturn’s rings,

And after that, who knows.

Mom said lunch is at noon.

But after that, I’ll take-off;

My ship is in my room.
