Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My mama told me I should
Never venture into space
But I did, I did, I did
She said, no Terran girl
Could trust the Martian race
But I did, I did, I did
[Verse 2]
A rocket pilot asked me
On a voyage, to go
And I was so romantic
I couldn't say no
That he was just a server robot
How was I to know
So I did, I did, I did
[Verse 3]
She told me never venture
Out among the asteroids
But I did, I did, I did
She said, the Milky Way
Was something to afford
So I did, I did, I did
[Verse 4]
She said that Venus was too hot
And Saturn not much fun
And bug-eyed monsters tended
To be just a trifle dumb
[Verse 5]
She said I'd need a blaster
And a needle freezer gun
And I did, I did, I did
[Verse 6]
My mama told me never trust
A space engineer
But I did, I did, I did
She said, free fall and super drive
Would surely cost me dear
And they did, they did, they did
[Verse 7]
I've been as far in hyper space
As anybody can
I've traveled through the time warp
On this cyclo-plan
They say, a gal must travel far
To find her superman
And I did, I did, I did
