Lyrics
When Andrea was only five, she said she wished to be
An astronaut when she grew up, a strange thing you’ll agree.
When people said, “But you’re a girl,” she answered, “Yes that’s true,
But I’ll become an astronaut,
That’s what I want to do.
Oh, I’ll become an astronaut,
That’s what I want to do.”
Andrea the Astronaut,
Andrea the Astronaut,
Andrea the Astronaut,
She’s blasting to the stars!
When Andrea was just fifteen, she said she wished to be
An astronaut when she grew up; it was more than just a dream.
Her father thought it was a joke,
Her mother disapproved,
But in time they agreed with Andrea,
‘Cause that’s what she wanted to do.
In time they agreed with Andrea,
‘Cause that’s what she wanted to do.
Andrea the Astronaut,
Andrea the Astronaut,
Andrea the Astronaut,
She’s blasting to the stars!
Now Andrea is all grown up; you won’t believe your eyes,
To see her in her white spacesuit, it’s really no surprise,
‘Cause since she was a little girl,
She always said, “It’s true,
I’ll become an astronaut,
That’s what I want to do.
Oh, I’ll become an astronaut,
That’s what I want to do.”
Andrea the Astronaut,
Andrea the Astronaut,
Andrea the Astronaut,
She’s blasting to the stars!
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, blast off!
This song is intended to give children the idea that they can strive to be whatever they want to be when they grow up.
