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! 
Destination moon
