Fly me to the moon,
Effigy o’ Disney,
Oh, Mercury zoom!
Baby ride on, let’s frisbee!
In the fall of ’57, Sputnik 1 lit up the heavens,
New year fired the US spree - raise the flag on Jupiter C,
Little Arrow, little star,
Now I wonder how beautiful you are,
So long, international,
Race over rainbows to the stars,
Goodbye, big and beautiful dream;
The space age is over,
Rime around the moon,
Sea of tranquility,
A billion dollar baby boom,
This is Houston, this is Star City,
It’s April 12 in ‘61 when Yuri sings in Vostok 1,
5th of May, Shepherd A, astronauts for Freedom day,
High inequity - high noon,
Twelve white men walk upon the moon,
So long, international,
Race over rainbows to the stars,
Goodbye, big and beautiful dream;
The space age is over,
Since ever was there’s been a man up in the moon,
Spoonful of tears his face so sad, a silent croon,
Until the big day comes - he finally speaks to Neil,
He says ‘You’re feeling strange, imagine how I feel!’
‘Kinda weird man!’
Half way to the moon,
Odyssey o’ Yankee,
This is your life Charlie Brown,
From Vietnam to Elvis Presley,
It’s July 20th ‘69 at 9.18 our summertime,
Neil and Buzz above the heavens - I remember Apollo 11,
Little brother, hear him cry!
Star of wonder, I wonder why!
So long, international,
Race over rainbows to the stars,
Goodbye, big and beautiful dream;
The space age is over,
So long, international,
Race over rainbows to the stars,
Goodbye, big and beautiful dream;
The space age is over,
