Lyrics:

Cape Canaveral Florida, ready for takeoff stages

Zoom destination an isolated planet Mars

On which observed many relics of past ages

On return despite rocks no spars

2nd destination world's largest planet Jupiter

From there obtained some ancient relics

When returned at base -- we want Hoopiter!

And we would like some fancy cow's milk

3rd destination many ringed planet Saturn

While there darted among the rings

At base had a few thoughts of astral matter

Again at base a welcoming with sings

4th zoom destination to an isolated planet Neptune

Whose surface was clear of any vegetation

At base quote -- would like large dirigible balloon

During when there was no hesitation

5th zoom destination smallest planet Pluto

On which there are many beautiful sights

It has no vegetation you know

No power to illuminate dark nights

One of Andy's strangest vocal melodies. Is there any doubt this man is a genius?

It's like a 50's vision of what jazz would sound like in the space age :) Perfect combination of stabby angular chords and smooth ethereal vocals. One of my favourites.

So glad to find you posted it too. You see, my channel received two yellow cards some months ago so I deleted almost everything... ;)
