Oh fly, fly up to the sky Summer Bean Fly up, fly back, tell me what you've seen "I saw stars like snowflakes on black, black cloth I saw two moons kissing, a comet like a moth Meteors hissing across it all Planets dancing as if at a ball" Oh swim, swim into the sea Summer Bean Swim down, swim back, tell me what you've seen "I saw fish flicker in front of crinkly coral I saw crabs scuttle, a ship in a bottle Seaweed ripples in the heavy waves Seahorses hide in deep, dark caves" Oh dig, dig into the ground Summer Bean Dig down, dig deep, tell me what you've seen "I saw worms wiggle, beetles in the soil I saw Molten rock bubbling, all on the boil Glittering gold, blue black stone I saw all this and then I went home."

A long time ago Men landed on the moon Some said, "What's the point?" But they were too soon To say that those men In their white and gray suits Shouldn't have gone there To stomp around in their big boots No, to complete the mission There is one last thing to do We need to summon our forces AND SEND A GIRL TO THE MOON! She will need the correct toys Buzz Lightyear or such-like She'll need a white space-suit To get around she'll need a bike She'll go to astronaut school Learn science and rocket-ships How to bounce around in zero gee Deal with space-chapped lips Yes, to be a space girl would be Lonely and glorious too To plant a flag and look back At Earth, that little stone of blue

There's a hippo in a tree Looking down at you There are cats on legs like buses That want to chase you There are bees like ferrets That can barely buzz around you There's a giant sea dog It wants to grab and eat you But they are afraid Of you, with your green hair Of you, with your red horns Of you, with your sixteen legs Of you, size of the moon With your scary books in your arms

Summer, Tabby on a star It's very hot, it's very far From Mother Earth, a little blue dot Getting home would cost a lot From there a bus would take years A rocket faster, but then who steers? So Tabby, Summer on a star Collect stardust in a jar Build a house with a huge aircon A big yard, they felt they'd won Look up at night, you'll see them there House of stardust, look close,a stair Of moondust. Go up, be quiet, they may be asleep It's a long way, it's very steep Look, there in a bed, see you must Girls made of stars like diamond dust

When blue was red and orange pink No-one here knew what to think But Summer ran as fast as gray To the King of Colour, she went to say "You silly King, you over-slept, you Better get up, red turned to blue!" Bopped with a balloon he got out of bed Had a shower, demanded to be fed So Summer made an omlette with fuchsia eggs Ran it to the King on orange legs He ate, touched a finger to some toast It turned pink to brown, it was the most Amazing thing Summer had ever seen Until she saw him turn purple back to green Summer saved the day, all was mellow But she kept a piece of sky that still was yellow
