I Don't Want To Live On The Moon
Here are the lyrics to one of my all time favourite sesame street songs and a link for the audio version of it. Listening to it gives such a strong sense of nostalgia, still enough to bring a tear to my eye....
I Don't Want To Live On The Moon
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

Nah, I do have a soft spot for Sesame Street and I remembered loving this Ernie song from my time as a small kid. They say you can tell a person's character from which Sesame Street personality they most loved. I always liked Oscar the Grouch! He was the poor misunderstood one in my mind - he was actually very tender inside, as evidenced by the attention he gave to his worm.....
I always loved this song as a child now i am playing it for my daughter and she loves it as a bed time song, i was always a sesame street fan and so was my dad. and i also love oscar the grouch and slimy the worm and lets not forget the count. lol.
I love this song.
I never heard it before today.
I found it on someone's myspace page and was just searching for the lyrics, when I stumbled on this blog.
