A young girl expresses her desire to become an astronaut and travel to the moon. She describes her daily routine of eating Vegemite, brushing her teeth, and keeping a hankie in her pocket while floating around the rocket. The girl promises to be quiet if there are others around and explores climbing moon rocks and craters, hoping to have a robot friend to sing to her on the flight before returning home.

1. Lady Astronaut

2. I want to be an astronaut And fly off to the moon I’d wave good-bye to mummy And say I’ll see you soon

3. You wouldn’t have to worry When I flew right out of sight You could come and see my journey On the internet every night

4. I’d eat my toast and Vegemite As I float around the rocket I’d brush my teeth, wash my hands And keep a hankie in my pocket

5. I’d programme the computer To dock safely on the ground I promise to be quiet If there’s anyone around

6. There’d be moon rocks I can climb on Craters big and small I’d stand right on the edge of them But mummy, I won’t fall

7. I hope I have a robot friend To talk to on the flight I’d programme him to sing to me Like you do every night

8. I’d probably see meteors And an asteroid or two I’d see the moon and have good fun Then fly right home to you.
