lyrics

Ever since I was young, you know I wanted to fly
Checkin out the stars hangin up in the sky
Reflectin in my eyes, my mind was yearning
Next thing you know.. the engines were burning!
3, 2, 1, liftoff and we're on the way
Next stop the moon, we'll be there in 3 days
Been dreamin of it for years, you know I just couldn't wait
Cos I knew since I saw it... I said, that's my place
You ask me

How you get to the moon?
I got a rocket ship in my backyard


Us mooners, you know we call it the orb
And in a place like this you ain't never get bored
Its got it's own kind of charm you can't find in stores
Complete with moon rocks, craters and more
Hangin in the space base in this loony space place
Got my trusty moon rover to win the space race
Look on up! You gonna see my face
Up on the moon with a smile
Now all you wanna say is just

How you get to the moon?
I got a rocket ship in my backyard


Its called da moondance, he got moves like a martian
Like he came out groovin straight off the starship
Pay no mind to the matter, ain't gonna trip fall or stagger
Cos he's smooth like the music that I'm servin on a platter!
Moonin makes us jump, shout, and act this way
Goof-goofin around, monday through sunday
Every day's a fun day, they laid out the run way
and we comin in hot! Now I know you wanna say

How you get to the moon?
I got a rocket ship in my backyard


Yo, you can't floor me cos I got trouble stayin grounded
Low gravity got me jumpin over mountains
Shootin up like a fountain, the trumpets are soundin
And I got dunks on the moon to get the people shoutin
Got my moon boots, and my moon suit
Call it star style, know it drive the women wild
The moon's my place, you know I'm here to stay
And when you see me up high just all you wanna say is

How you get to the moon?
I got a rocket ship in my backyard
