What If

What if the moon was made of cheese, And astronauts were mice? They'd eat their way through Danish Blue, And Colby by the slice. They'd place it on their crackers. They'd spread it on their bread. They'd grate it on spaghetti. They'd eat it in their bed! If the moon was made of cheese, And astronauts were mice, They still would have to do their work, Perfect and precise. The scientists at NASA Would really like to know If there is water on the moon, Or maybe ice, or snow. If the moon was made of cheese, And astronauts were mice, Every time that NASA called, They'd let the phone ring twice. They'd sit there in the spaceship. On cheddar they'd be lunching, While scientists at NASA hear A lot of heavy munching. If the moon was made of cheese, And astronauts were mice, We'd have to give the NASA boys Some fatherly advice: "Bring those little astronauts Back before the dawn, Or you may look outside to see The moon is almost gone!"
