*** Beverly Kenney version ****
[Verse]
There once was a time
When the colorful thing to do
Was to call for a girl on a bicycle built for two
But cars and trains and even planes
All have had their day
Now the time is due to call for you
In the modern atomic way

[Refrain]
Come and take a trip in my rocket ship
We'll have a lovely afternoon
What a thrill you get ridin' on a jet
Destination moon.

Travel fast as light 'til we're lost from sight
The earth is like a toy balloon
Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly
Destination moon.

We'll go up, up, way up
Straight to the moon, we two
High in the starry blue
I'll be out of this world with you.

So away we steal in a space mobile
A supersonic honeymoon
Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly
Destination moon.


*** Nat King Cole version ****
Come and take a trip in my rocket ship
We'll have a lovely afternoon
Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly
Destination moon
Travel fast as light 'til we're lost from sight
The earth is like a toy balloon
What a thrill you get ridin' on a jet
Destination moon
We'll go up, up, up, up
Straight to the moon we two
High in the starry blue
I'll be out of this world with you
So away we steal in a space mobile
A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your cares below
Pull the switch, let's go
Destination moon

Destination moon
Destination moon

There once was a time when the colorful thing to do
Was to call for a date on a bicycle built for two
But cars and trains and even planes all have had their day
Now the time is due to call for you in the modern atomic way

We'll go up, up, up, up
Straight to the moon we two
High in the starry blue
I'll be out of this world with you
So away we steal in a space mobile
A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your cares below
Pull the switch, let's go
Destination moon
