Doo Do Doo Doo Ba yea dat dah Ba yea dat dah
What a funny monkey that stares at his face in the glass of a lake
What a funny monkey that questions his fate to be shot into space
He says goodbye to everything he knows
Smiles waves he loves everything it shows
He's fast asleep now its hardly escape but it cushions the wait
Trees beneath the leaves how they brace remember this place deep into space
He says goodbye to everything he knows
Smiles waves he loves everything it shows
And as the buttons start to glow
This time he knows for sure
That his mission is a go
The cockpit roars as he sees the smoke
He's going up as he goes for broke
Until the gravity lets go
What a funny monkey that stares at this earth
For all that its worth
Might be a small step for man but not in his dreams could he picture this leap
There's just one thing he never understood
As he goes over all their plans
There's no place for where he lands
So he shuts his eyes and he sees his trees
Lack of air he begins to choke
Here is the punchline to their joke
Says goodbye to everything he knows
Dies alone three miles above his home
