Space Girl lyrics

My mama told me I should never venture into space

But I did, I did, I did

She said no Terran girl could trust the Martian race

But I did, I did, I did

A rocket pilot asked me on a voyage to go

And I was so romantic, I couldn't say "no"

That he was just a servo robot, how was I to know?

So I did, I did, I did

She told me: "Never venture out among the asteroids"

But I did, I did, I did

She said the Milky Way was something to avoid

So I did, I did, I did

She said that Venus was too hot and Saturn not much fun

And bug-eyed monsters tended to be just a trifle dumb

She said I'd need a blaster and I'd need a freezer gun

And I did, I did, I did

My mama told me: "Never trust a space engineer"

But I did, I did, I did

She said freefall and superdrive would surely cost me dear

And they did, they did, they did

I've been as far in hyperspace as anybody can

I've travelled through the time warp on the Psycho Plan

They say a gal must travel for to find her superman

And I did, I did, I did
