Blast Off!


Start the countdown: ten, nine, eight
Check the engines: seven, six, five, four
Punch the button: three, two, one
THREE, TWO, ONE
Blast off and hold on tight
Blast off to a faraway place
Blast off through the atmosphere
Ride that rocket ship to outer space

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star


Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle all night
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
In the dark blue sky you keep
Often through my curtains peep
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are

Spinning Earth


I'm the Earth, a great big ball
Slowly going around the sun
Here's something new you can learn
Once each day I make a turn
Ev'ry day I spin, spinning one,
spinning one
Spinning just one time around

Gravity Pulls Me Down


Gravity pulls me down
Gravity pulls me down
What was that
An apple dropped on my head
What makes it fall
"That's gravity," Mr. Newton said
Gravity pulls me down
And it keeps me on the ground
So I don't float around
Gravity pulls me down
Why can't I fly
And sail across the sky
I jump, jump, jump
But down I come each time

Little Pluto


Little Pluto, little Pluto
You are far, far away
Too tiny to be a planet they say
Little Pluto, little Pluto
Whatever you are told
To me you are brave and bold
Little Pluto, little Pluto
Do you know
Little Pluto, little Pluto
You are big enough enough for me, oh oh
Little Pluto, little Pluto
Little Pluto, little Pluto
I'm tiny, too, little Pluto

Red Marks


Red, red dust blows beneath the stars
Wind blows, dust flows on planet Mars
No life on the land
Just sand that looks like rust
No water in the river
Just red, red dust
Just red, red dust

Spider in Space


I am an astronaut
so up to space I went
To do an experiment
but I was not alone
Spider in space, spider in space
Spider in space, spider in space
In the corner of my ship
he came along for the trip
Spider in space, spider in space
Astronaut is not alone
Astronaut is not alone
Astronaut is not alone
Who's there, who's there

Moon Rocks


The moon rocks, have you seen one today
Check it out, it's round and gray
The moon rocks
I put one in my pocket
Then I climbed up in my rocket
Come on, sing this tune all the 
way to the moon
Moon rocks, m-m-m-moon, m-moon rocks
Moon rocks, m-m-m-moon, m-moon rocks
Did you hear me say they came from 
far away
I flew through outer space
Then right in front of my face
A crazy cow jumped right over the 
moon rock

Saturn Swirl


Ice, rock, ice, spinning in a ring
Ice, rock, ice, S-S-Saturn, I sing
Spinning ice, colors twirl
Swirl Saturn rings, swirl
Swirl, swirl, swirl, swirl
Make a ring and sing
Swirl, swirl, swirl, swirl
Make a ring and sing

93 Million Miles


93 million miles from me
The sun shines radiantly
93 million miles from me
The sun shines radiantly
Heat, light, burning bright
Heat, light, burning bright
What a sight, what a sight

Space Encounter


(instrumental)
