Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star by Jane Taylor Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky! Repeat: *Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are!* When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. (*repeat) Then the traveller in the dark, Thanks you for your tiny spark, He could not see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so. (*repeat) In the dark blue sky you keep, And often through my curtains peep, For you never shut your eye, Till the sun is in the sky. (*repeat) As your bright and tiny spark, Lights the traveller in the dark,— Though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star. (*repeat)

Hey Diddle Diddle! Hey! diddle, diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you.... Here am I floating round my tin can Far above the Moon Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do.

Fly me to the moon sung by Frank Sinatra Fly me to the moon Let me play among the stars Let me see what spring is like On a-Jupiter and Mars In other words, hold my hand In other words, baby , kiss me Fill my heart with song And let me sing for ever more You are all I long for All I worship and adore In other words, please be true In other words, I love you

Rocket Man Music by Elton John. Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album Honky Château She packed my bags last night pre-flight Zero hour nine a.m. And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then I miss the earth so much I miss my wife It’s lonely out in space On such a timeless flight And I think it’s gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find I’m not the man they think I am at home Oh no no no I’m a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids In fact it’s cold as hell And there’s no one there to raise them if you did And all this science I don’t understand It’s just my job five days a week A rocket man, a rocket man And I think it’s gonna be a long long time...
