Going To The Moon Lyrics

Going to the moon

Everybody in the car

But go to the bathroom first

We're blasting off for the stars

In a rocketized Cadillac Hearse

It's customized in ev'ry way

Spaceworthy and equipped to roll

We got sandwiches and suds on ice

And we don't need no ground control

Going to the moon in a homemade spaceship

Going to the moon

Gonna get some rocks

Going to the moon

In a homemade spaceship

Going to the moon

Gonna play some golf

One small step and I'm leaping up into the air

One small step

Not a thing for mankind

One small step

And our crazy trip is underway

One small step

Leaving earth behind

Jimbo lights the Saturn V

It's a little bit of overkill

But if it's good enough for Neil and Buzz

It's good enough for Jay and Bill

The caddy kicks into high gear

We hit the ramp at hellaspeed

Blasting Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein"

So loud We think our ears will bleed

Going to the moon in a homemade spaceship

Going to the moon

Gonna eat some cheese

Going to the moon

In a homemade spaceship

Going to the moon

Hope that we don't freeze

One small step

And the Caddy accelerates

One small step

As we roar and shake

One small step

As both feet are pressed into the floor

One small step

This might be a mistake

We bust right through the atmosphere

And then we're deep in outer space

Jay laughs until he starts to cry

When the cooler smacks me in the face.

I laugh and give a little "Haw!"

Then strap the cooler to the dash.

There's no time for drinking now

We're on a drive and wouldn't want to crash

Going to the moon

In a homemade spaceship

Going to the moon

There's a quiet calm

Going to the moon

There's space junk everywhere

Going to the moon

Hey, there's Major Tom

One small step

The moon is right in front of us

One small step

With our rockets firin'

One small step

The U.S. flag welcomes us

One small step

Did I unplug the iron

The earth looks flat in our rear view

As we're landing on the moon

I turn the wheel, the tires squeal

We'll be out there walking soon

We check our suits and leave the car

This atmosphere is really cool

We run and jump like little kids

And cartwheel just like silly fools

It isn't very long until

We're bored and things are getting dark

Time for ham and Swiss and drinks

But we can't remember where we parked

Finally we find the car

Jimbo's drunk as Cooter's ghost

We grab ourselves a sandwich each

Crack the last two beers and make a toast

Here's to doing something cool

Like Andy Griffith in Salvage One

But it's time for us to head back home

The moon's not really that much fun

Going to the earth

As our cup runneth under

Going to the earth

While Jimbo takes a nap

Going to the earth

Our engines all a'thunder

Going to the earth

Feel reentry's slap

One small step

On the brakes of the Cadillac

One small step

And our journey's past

One small step

And it all seems like a dream

One small step

And we're home at last

Back on earth

In our homemade spaceship

Back on earth

Not a moment too soon

Back on earth

Cause that's where all my stuff is at

Back on earth

You can keep the moon
