The Rocket Ship

Some very good friends sat around in their basement I think we've all been here before The room of course was smokey and wasted The four buddies were bored right out of their gourds They all thought they should do something special So they decided to build a rocket ship Throwing a bunch of old plywood together They then sat around, smoked some more, and planed their spacey trip Jody spoke up first and said let's go to the moon But they'd heard that had already been done That's when he came up with the brightest idea I know what! We'll go to the sun! Go to the sun?! We may be high but we're not crazy!! They replied, this ships made out of wood That's when Jody explained his brilliant idea Nodding like Bobble Head dolls they all understood As Jody dug deeper into his intricate plan All the guys seemed to like it a lot They would go when it's dark in the middle of night When the suns put out and it isn't so hot Since Jody's the genius, they put him in charge He seems to have a grasp on what's left of his brain There were four of them but only room for two They drew straws 'cause they were having difficulty remembering their names The straws turned out to be the same length Cutting them, somebody forgot So they picked Jody as their Captain Kirk And Jason as his sidekick Spock Out in left field, the excitement was contagious Jody yelled, 'To infinity and Beyond' They knew that quote came from some famous movie But had a memory lapse so they gave him more Bobble Head nods At that point they realized they had no engine Being impaired, not a one of them cared They all went back down into the basement And took another kind of trip without going anywhere

This is kind of a part 2 with these stoner buddies. The "H" Bomb started them off
