I wanted to be a spaceman That's what I wanted to be But now that I am a spaceman Nobody cares about me Hey mother earth Won't 'cha bring me back down Safely to the sea But 'round and around and around and around Is all she ever say to me I wanted to make a good run I wanted to go to the moon I knew that it had to be fun I told 'em to send me real soon I wanted to be a spaceman I wanted to be it so bad But now that I am a spaceman I'd rather be back on the pad Hey mother earth Won't 'cha bring me back down Safely to the sea But 'round and around and around and around Is 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 around Safe on the ground Hey mother earth Won't 'cha bring me back down Safely to the sea But 'round and around and around and around Is all she ever say to me, yeah You know I wanted to be a spaceman That's what I wanted to be But now that I am a spaceman Nobody cares about me Say, hey! You mother earth You better bring me back down I've taken just as much as I can But around and around and around and around Is the problem of a spaceman (Ah's!)
