Upstairs to my rocket

After decorating my little boys' room!

Upstairs to my rocket

/\

!

I'm in my little spaceship

Going to the moon,

Snug beneath my duvet

Wrapped up in my cocoon.

I want to be a rocket man

Within the planets and stars,

To see the rings on Saturn

Build sandcastles with dust from Mars.

Shining brightly on my ceiling

Is a saucepan, my great bear;

I think of meeting Aliens

As I climb the stairs.

I see a supernova

On my walls a galaxy.

I orbit around the Milky way

Until I feel sleepy.

I want to be an Astronaut,

Count me down to my first flight,

As I cuddle yellow teddy bear

My earth turns off the light.
