i'd like to visit the jungle to hear the lion's roar

i heard this song repeated by ernie in about 1990, sesame street - the kids program on tv. ernie and i, we have same dreams .. visiting new places, strange places. try and explore new things in new ways. i always want new things in my life.

and today, feb 5 2008, i'd like to visit the jungle to hear the lion's roar :)

i don't want to live on the moon

well, i'd like to visit the moon
on a rocket ship high in the air
yes, i'd like to visit the moon
but i don't think i'd like to live there
though i'd like to look down at the earth from above
i would miss all the places and people i love
so although i might like it for one afternoon
i don't want to live on the moon

i'd like to travel under the sea
i could meet all the fish everywhere
yes, i'd travel under the sea
but i don't think i'd like to live there
i might stay for a day there if i had my wish
but there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
and an oyster and clam aren't real family
so i don't want to live in the sea

i'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
go back in time and meet a dinosaur
there's so many strange places i'd like to be
but none of them permanently

so if i should visit the moon
well, i'll dance on a moonbeam and then
i will make a wish on a star
and i'll wish i was home once again
though i'd like to look down at the earth from above
i would miss all the places and people i love
so although i may go i'll be coming home soon
'cause i don't want to live on the moon
no, i don't want to live on the moon
