Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Countdown is commencing, pretty soon I'll be saying, "Goodbye Earth"

A rocket ride on a bucking bronc, at seventeen thousand miles an hour

It's only seven months to Mars, give or take a light year or two (Or three)

And I wanna, I wanna be an astronaut

I wanna, I wanna, wanna

[Verse 2]

Starting lift-off procedures…

All systems standing by – over –

OVER?!

[Verse 3]

Blast-off, I'm on my way, I'm a shooting star

A man on a mission

I hang with the man on the moon, I'll be there soon

A man on a mission to Mars

[Verse 4]

I headbang on the gangway, say my prayers, cross my heart and hope to die

Open a window for the Seven Sisters of Pleiades, "Hello ladies"

SEVEN SISTERS: "Hello Moon Man!"

Three hundred million miles to Mars, it doesn't seem so far away (Yes it does!)

And I wanna, I wanna be an astronaut

I wanna, I wanna, wanna

[Verse 5]

Starting landing procedures…

All systems standing by – over –

OVER?!

[Verse 6]

Blast-off, I'm on my way, I'm a shooting star

A man on a mission

I hang with the man on the moon, I'll be there soon

A man on a mission to Mars

[Verse 7]

Blast-off, I'm on my way, I'm a shooting star

A man on a mission

I hang with the man on the moon, I'll be there soon

I'm a man on a mission to Mars
