Astronaut
Tune: "Where have you been BillyBoy?"
Tell me, where have you been, Astronaut, astronaut?
Tell me, where have you been In your rocket?
I have landed on the moon, And I may return there soon
With a space station That will help me dock it!
Tell me, what did you do, Astronaut, astronaut?
Tell me, what did you do In your rocket?
I took pictures of the stars
And the craters found on Mars,
And I brought home some moon rocks In my pocket!
