My name is painted on a shining rocket
It's floating high above in outer space
It's been a dream of mine so please, don't knock it
Or I will have to knock you in the face

No, I'm no astronomer
Always watchin' stars
I am an astronaut who shoots to where they are
No, I'm no astronomer
Always watchin' stars
I am an astronaut so shoot me off to Mars

I'm high on oxygen in my white spacesuit
I dance upon the moon and twirl and play
It's amazing with the stars around you
I've found a home here and it's where I'll stay

No, I'm no astronomer
Always watchin' stars
I am an astronaut who shoots to where they are
No, I'm no astronomer
Always watchin' stars
I am an astronaut so shoot me off to Mars

Telescopes will help you to see where
You are heading, soon we will be there
Floating
Floating
Way beyond your wildest limits
Way beyond your childish gimmicks
That's where we're going!
No, I'm no astronomer
Always watchin' stars
I am an astronaut who shoots to where they are
No, I'm no astronomer
Always watchin' stars
I am an astronaut so shoot me off to Mars!
