Chorus:  I want to go dancing on the moon.
         I want to frolic in zero-gravity,
         Hear Jupiter sing, tour Saturn’s rings.
         When will space be open for me?
         I want to go dancing on the moon.

1.  Ordinary men and women stand
       Earthbound and wishing for the stars,
    So very long away, beyond the reach of today,
       and the moon seems just as far.

Chorus:         

Bridge:  Ordinary people will go... tomorrow.
         Tomorrow can’t come too soon.
         The years so quickly flow,
         And progress is so slow,
         Tomorrow I’ll be too old to go
             dancing on the moon.


2.  Ordinary men and women stand
       Earthbound and wondering when
    The space shuttle run and the moon will become
       open to ordinary men.

Chorus:    

Coda:  I want to go dancing on the moon  (5X & out)
