Hey man, whatcha doin' today
I'm gettin' in my rocket and I'm flyin' away
This planet Earth is much too small for me
So I'm headin' to the stars to see what's there for me

To the stars ooo ooo I'm flyin' away
To the stars ooo ooo I'm leavin' today
ooo ooo ooo 

The first star from Earth is our big yellow Sun
At ninety three million miles it is the closest one
And at 6000 K it's pretty hot stuff 
But this just won't do, it's not quite far enough 

To the stars ooo ooo I'm not gonna stay
To the stars ooo ooo I'm flyin' further away
