I Don't Want to Live on the Moon Songtext
von Sesame Street

Well, I′d like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don′t think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don′t want to live on the moon


I′d like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don′t think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there′s not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don′t want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I′d like to be
But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I′ll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I′d like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
′Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don′t want to live on the moon
