Lyrics for Destination Moon

Don't bother to call this room There's nobody here who can pick up Or has stuff they need to talk about And who won't be now Checking out and flying By rocket to the moon By airplane to the rocket By taxi to the airport By front door to the taxi By throwing back the blanket Hanging down the legs Thank you for the card with the cartoon nurse But you see there's nothing wrong with me You think, "That's what you think." "That's what they all say," Before I blow you away By rocket to the moon By airplane to the rocket By taxi to the airport By front door to the taxi By throwing back the blanket Hanging down the legs Soon the man who sweeps the room Brings the secret telegram: Commence official interplanetary exploration Thank you for the card with the cartoon nurse But you see there's nothing wrong with me You think, "That's what you think." "That's what they all say," Before I blow you away By rocket to the moon By airplane to the rocket By taxi to the airport By front door to the taxi By throwing back the blanket Hanging down the legs By rocket to the moon Crawl to the rocket By coughing at the airport By limping to the taxi By throwing back the blanket Hanging down the withered leg
