Tuning Up For Outer Space
Tune: The Farmer in the Dell
The sun is in the sky. The sun is in the sky.
Hot and bright, it gives us light.
The sun is in the sky.
The moon is in the sky.
The Moon is in the sky.
Around and 'round the earth it goes.
The moon is in the sky.
The stars are in the sky.
The stars are in the sky.
Twinkly bright, they shine at night.
The stars are in the sky.
I’M A LITTLE ASTRONAUT
Tune: “I’m A Little Teapot”
I’m a little astronaut
Flying to the moon.
My rocket is ready,
We blast off soon.
I climb aboard
And close the hatch.
5-4-3-2-1, off we blast!
WE’RE FLYING TO THE MOON
Tune: “The Farmer In The Dell”
We’re flying to the moon.
We’re going to blast off soon.
Grab your helmets and your suits.
We’re flying to the moon.
Did you feel the blast?
We’re climbing up so fast.
Hang on tight, what a sight!
We’re flying to the moon.
We’re soaring through the air.
I think we’re almost there.
Retro Rockets going off!
We’ve landed on the moon!
We climb down the stairs,
With our tanks of air.
We plant a flag, then grab some rocks
And take them back to earth.
We’re flying oh so fast.
Then we’re home at last.
What a flight, what a sight.
Flying to the moon!
