Rocket Jive   by Tim Seston

Ten, nine, eight - wow, isn’t this great
Seven, six, five - do the rocket jive
Four, three, two – no one’s stopping you
One, zero away – hip hip hooray


Pretend you’re a rocket on the launching pad
Wave a final goodbye to your mom and dad
Put your feet together, raise your hands up high
Count from ten to zero, get ready to fly

Chorus

Now fly like a rocket way up in the air
Take a look below you at the earth down there
We’re going through the atmosphere so we must
Jump up real high to give the rocket a thrust

Chorus

Great job everybody we will be there soon
To our destination way up on the moon
Get on your hands and knees and prepare to land
On the bumpy craters and the dusty sand

Chorus

You are up on the moon, take a giant leap
Put a souvenir in your pocket to keep
Do a victory dance then count down from ten
Pretend you’re a rocket, let’s go home again

Chorus
