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 just couldn't say no.
that he was just a servo robot,
how was I to know?
So I did, I did, I did.
My papa told me never trust
a space engineer,
but I did, I did, I did.
He said free fall and
A super drive would surely cost me dear
An d they did, they did, they did
I've been as far in hyper
space as anybody can
I've traveled through the time warp
in the psycho plan
They say a gal must travel four
to find her superman
And so I did, I did, I did.
They warned me not to go around
among the asteroids,
but I did, I did, I did.
They said I'd make those
class three mutants
dreadfully annoyed,
and I did, I did, I did.
They said that Saturn was too hot,
Venus not much fun,
And bug -eyed monsters
tended to be just a trifle dumb.
They said I'd need a blaster
an d a needle freezer gun,
And I did, I did, I did.
They said to find a man out there
and try to settle down,
so I did, I did, I did.
They said my kids might grow up
one -eyed, green, or bald, round,
and they did, they did, they did.
My cosmic husband died of mumps
a hundred years ago
My daughter's in the Milky Way
a -tracking down a bow
And I'm so old and doddering
I've nothing for to show
But I did, I did, I did
