i don't want to live on the moon- ernie

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 a 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 like to travel under the sea
but i don't think i'd like to live there
i might stay for a day if i had my wish
but there's no 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 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 on the earth from above
i would miss al 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
