I'm gonna fly up to the moon,
on a big red hot air balloon,
and up there I will meet the baboon of the moon,

and up there he sings me his tune,
it goes:

I am so small and the earth is so big,
so I came to the moon for a change

but the moon is even bigger,
and my tummy feels sicker,
and my family is light years away

when you look in a telescope you see every detail,
the uniqueness of each of the stars,

but when you're a monkey like me there's no beauty to be,
only how terrible lonely you are.
