MOON SONGS & RHYMES

I’M A LITTLE ASTRONAUT
Tune:  “I’m A Little Teapot”

I’m a little astronaut
Flying to the moon.
My rocket is ready,
We blast off soon.

I climb aboard
And close the hatch.
5-4-3-2-1, off we blast!

THE MAN IN THE MOON

The man in the moon,
Looked out of the moon
Looked out of the moon and said,
“It’s time for all the children on earth
To think about getting to bed!”
                                    Traditional
 

I SEE THE MOON

I see the moon
And the moon see me.
God bless the moon
And God bless me!
                        Traditional


SILVER MOON

Down at the lake, late at night.
I saw a path of silver light.

I looked in the sky and what did I see?
A silver moon winking at me.
                        Jean Warren
 

MAN IN THE MOON

Man in the moon,
Man in the moon,
Shinning in the night.
What a happy face you have,
Big, round and white.
                        Jean Warren

 
WE’RE FLYING TO THE MOON
Tune:  “The Farmer In The Dell”

We’re flying to the moon.
We’re going to blast off soon.
Grab your helmets and your suits.
We’re flying to the moon.

Did you feel the blast?
We’re climbing up so fast.
Hang on tight, what a sight!
We’re flying to the moon.

We’re soaring through the air.
I think we’re almost there.
Retro Rockets going off!
We’ve landed on the moon!

We climb down the stairs,
With our tanks of air.
We plant a flag, then grab some rocks
And take them back to earth.

We’re flying oh so fast.
Then we’re home at last.
What a flight, what a sight.
Flying to the moon!
                        Jean Warren
 

JUMP IN THE ROCKET

Jump in the rocket.
We blast off soon.
We’re taking a trip
Up to the moon.

Up, up, we climb,
Up to the sky.
Isn’t it fun,
To be able to fly!
            Adapted Traditional

 
THE MOON IS CIRCLING ‘ROUND THE EARTH
Tune:  “When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again”  or “The Ants Go Marching”

The moon is circling ‘round the earth, hurrah!, hurrah!
We cannot see it, in the day, the day.
But when day turns into night, 
We can see the moon so bright.
Oh, we’re oh so glad that the moon is in the sky.
                                                Jean Warren
 

WE’LL BE ORBITING ‘ROUND THE MOON
Tune:  “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain”

We’ll be orbiting round the moon, yes we will,
We’ll be orbiting round the moon, yes we will.
We’ll be orbiting round the moon,
We’ll be orbiting round the moon,
We’ll be orbiting round the moon, yes we will.

CLIMB ABOARD THE SPACESHIP
Tune:  “Eensy, Weensy Spider”

Climb aboard the spaceship,
We’re going to the moon.
Hurry and get ready,
We’re going to blast off soon.

And buckle up real tight.
Here comes the countdown.
Let’s count with all our might.
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1- Blast Off!
