We're Flying to the Moon


To the tune of “The Farmer in the Dell”

We’re flying to the moon,
We’re flying to the moon,
Hi ho away we go,
We’re flying to the moon.

We’re landing on the moon,
We’re landing on the moon,
Hi ho away we go,
We’re landing on the moon.

We’re walking on the moon,
We’re walking on the moon,
Hi ho away we go,
We’re walking on the moon.

We’re flying back to Earth,
We’re flying back to Earth,
Hi ho away we go,
We’re flying back to Earth.

We’re landing on the Earth,
We’re landing on the Earth,
Hi ho away we go,
We’re landing on the Earth.
