[Verse 1]
There's a moon in the sky, it's called the moon
And everybody is there, including
Saturn, (Mercury)
Saturn, (Venus)
Saturn, (Mars)
Saturn, (Jupiter)
The Van Allen Belt
[Verse 2]
Roll, roll, roll, roll, rollin' in Andromeda
Won, ton, ton, ton, rama in Andromeda
There's too many rings (This is the Space Age)
There's too many things (This is the Space Age)
Just ain't no atmosphere tonight
(Can't get no ship to go tonight)
If you're lucky you get to ride in a gold meteorite
[Verse 3]
If you're not, you get a mouth, a mouthful of red Kryptonite
You better move over, here comes a Super-nova
(Kryptonite)
Destination moon
[Verse 4]
If you're in outer space, don't feel out of place
Cause there are thousands of others like you
Others like you, others like you
Well there's a moon, it's in the sky
It's called the moon, and everybody is there 'cluding
'Ranus (Neptune)
'Ranus (Pluto)
Destination moon
[Verse 5]
Many gamma rays around it
Van Allen Belt surrounds it
This is the Space Age (Please don't worry)
This is the Space Age (Just don't worry)
This is the Space Age (Don't worry)
This is the space age
Others like you, others like you
