When he was born, the doc said “What’s this?”
He’s much too small, it’s like he’s weightless
When he turned six, they ran some tests

They said it's for science, it's patriotic

Ah let’s send him where no one else has gone
And after all he can not speak or walk
Let’s send him out to moon, do circles round the Sun

When he was twelve, the time had come then
And with his eyes, he said he loved them
Then came the suits, then came the government
She stood and cried, she could not keep him

Ah let’s send him where no one else has gone
And after all he can not speak or walk
Let’s send him out to moon, do circles round the Sun

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho

Then he came back, yeah he came back
The doctors were shocked by his vital signs
She said would you like to go home now?

Ah let’s send him where no one else has gone
And after all he can not sṗeak or walk
Let’s send him out to moon, do circles around the Sun
