Up The Stairs To My Rocket

 

I’m in my little spaceship

Going to the moon,

Snug beneath my duvet

Wrapped up in my cocoon.

 

I want to be a rocket man

Within the planets and stars,

To see the rings on Saturn

Build sandcastles with dust on Mars.

 

Shining brightly on my ceiling

Is a saucepan, my Great Bear;

I think of meeting aliens

As I climb the stairs.

 

I see a supanova

On my walls a Galaxy.

I orbit around the Milky Way

Until I feel sleepy.

 

I want to be an Astronaut,

Count me down to my first flight.

As I cuddle yellow teddy bear

My earth turns off the light.
