It's Off To Mars We Go
Space travel is already taking place
in minds all around the world
looked on as kookaburras
but way ahead of the rest of us
talk to themselves, wonder where we are
the weather's fine, c'mon up
we're friendly, our welcome mat is out
never mind the vacant look in our eyes
a side effect of the journey
our hair started out... yes
but baldness is an unwelcome byproduct
especially for the ladies!
well now that I've told you about the side effects
you may want to rethink your decision
get back to me when you've decided “yes”
you name will go on the list
now I don't really have the authority
but trust me the reservation
won't cost you the moon
just your first born and a harem of beauties
not much considering this life-changing trip!
Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho, it's off to Mars we go
Walt was away ahead of his time!!!
