three(One, two, three, four!

)I wanted to be a spacemanThat's what I wanted to beBut

now that I am a spacemanNobody cares about meHey mother

earthWon't 'cha bring me back downSafely to the seaBut

'round and around and around and aroundIs all she ever

say to meI wanted to make a good runI wanted to go

to the moonI knew that it had to be funI told 'em to

send me real soonI wanted to be a spacemanI wanted

to be it so badBut now that I am a spacemanI'd rather

be back on the padHey mother earthWon't 'cha bring

me back downSafely to the seaBut 'round and around

and around and aroundIs just a lot of lunacy(Yeah!

)'Round and around and around and around and around(So

bring me back down)'Round and around and around and

around and aroundSafe on the groundHey mother earthWon't

'cha bring me back downSafely to the seaBut 'round

and around and around and aroundIs all she ever say

to me, yeahYou know I wanted to be a spacemanThat's

what I wanted to beBut now that I am a spacemanNobody

cares about meSay, hey! You mother earthYou better

bring me back downI've taken just as much as I canBut

around and around and around and aroundIs the problem of a spaceman(Ah's!)
