Bang, bang, shoot em' up, destiny

Bang, bang, shoot em' up to the moon

Bang, bang, shoot em' up one, two, three

(One, two, three, four!)



I wanted to be a spaceman

That's what I wanted to be

But now that I am a spaceman

Nobody cares about me



Hey mother earth

Won't 'cha bring me back down

Safely to the sea

But 'round and around and around and around

Is all she ever say to me



I wanted to make a good run

I wanted to go to the moon

I knew that it had to be fun

I told 'em to send me real soon

I wanted to be a spaceman

I wanted to be it so bad

But now that I am a spaceman

I'd rather be back on the pad



Hey mother earth

Won't 'cha bring me back down

Safely to the sea

But 'round and around and around and around

Is just a lot of lunacy

(Yeah!)

'Round and around and around and around and around

(So bring me back down)

'Round and around and around and around and around

Safe on the ground



Hey mother earth

Won't 'cha bring me back down

Safely to the sea

But 'round and around and around and around

Is all she ever say to me, yeah



You know I wanted to be a spaceman

That's what I wanted to be

But now that I am a spaceman

Nobody cares about me



Say, hey! You mother earth

You better bring me back down

I've taken just as much as I can

But around and around and around and around

Is the problem of a spaceman



(Ah's!)
