Here comes the space machine,
flying over clouds of margarine.
The astronauts are made of plasticine,
delivering children's favourite dreams.

Look out! look out! there's a hungry alien about.
Look out! look out! as it opens wide its snout
we shout, "Go away!!"

Up comes Rocket Number Nine,
about to rescue us in the nick of time.
It's the beginning of a lifelong friendship
with the captain and the crew of that rescue ship.

Look out! look out! there's a hungry alien about.
Look out! look out! as it opens wide its snout
we shout, "Go away!!"
