A         D9    Dm6         A  Fdim F#m
Come and take a trip in my roc - ket    ship

We'll have a love - ly af - ter - noon

Des - ti - na - tion moon.

Travel fast as light 'til we're lost  from   sight

The earth is like a toy bal - loon

B7          Cdim      D             B7          F#m        E7

Des - ti - na - tion moon.

A         D9             Dm      Dm6       A     Fdim    F#m
Into the milky way we'll wander while we watch the folks down yonder

'Cause the earth is like a tiny toy bal - loon

(Instrumental -- last two lines of verse)
