I Don't Want To Live On The Moon

Well, I'd like to visit the moon 

On a rocket ship high in the air 

Yes, I'd like to visit the moon 

But I don't think I'd like to live there 

Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above 

I would miss all the places and people I love 

So although I might like it for one afternoon 

I don't want to live on the moon 



I'd like to travel under the sea 

I could meet all the fish everywhere 

Yes, I'd travel under the sea 

But I don't think I'd like to live there 

I might stay for a day there if I had my wish 

But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish 

And an oyster and clam aren't real family 

So I don't want to live in the sea 



I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar 

Go back in time and meet a dinosaur 

There's so many strange places I'd like to be 

But none of them permanently 



So if I should visit the moon 

Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then 

I will make a wish on a star 

And I'll wish I was home once again 

Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above 

I would miss all the places and people I love 

So although I may go I'll be coming home soon 

'Cause I don't want to live on the moon 

No, I don't want to live on the moon
