Topic: "Hop Into My Rocket"
When I was a kid, I really wanted to be an astronaut.
As an adolescent, I really wanted to meet girls.
Now, as a middle-aged geezer I really want to write songs.
This silly little ditty pretty much covers all these urges.
The chords are simple classic 50's ballad stuff.
The lyric can be modified to 'Hop upon my rocket' or 'Hop onto my rocket' should the singer decide it is not obvious enough . . .

[G]Up above the rainbows, [Em]into outer space
[C]We will float like angels, [D]tumble with such grace
[G]Orbiting the planet, go [Em]'round and 'round again

[C]Hop into my rocket, it's [G]very sleek and fast
[C]Hop into my rocket babe, it's [D]gonna be a blast. [D7]
