You said give me that,
and pointed to the moon.
So I set out,
saddled up,
dressed down, then up
in my space suit.
I built a ship,
grand indeed.
It could carry me
across the universe
and back.
But I don't need that much.
No, not quite.
So I tied a rope to the back,
and set off,
with your picture taped
so carefully,
in my space man helmet.
I launched my ship,
set off to the moon!
It took seven minutes.
Ok, seven and a half.
I landed on the moon,
nothing had gone wrong.
(Told you my ship was grand)
I took the rope,
wrapped it around
and round.
I took off again,
going back to the Earth,
the moon, not far behind.
This time, eight minutes.
We landed,
the moon and I.
There you were,
standing right where I left you.
I looked at you, smiled,
and said, "Tomorrow.
I will bring you the moon
tomorrow."
