Lyrics[]
([Scooby:] Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one)
(Come and take a trip in my rocket ship
We'll have a lovely afternoon
Kiss the world goodbye and away we'll fly)
Destination Moon
Travel fast as light 'til we're lost from sight
The Earth is like a toy balloon
Like, what a thrill you get riding on a jet
Destination Moon
(We'll go up, up, up, up
Straight to the Moon, we two
High in the starry blue
I'll be out of this world with you)
So away we steal in a space mobile
([Scooby:] A supersonic honeymoon heeheeheeheeheehee!)
Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go!
Destination Moon
(Into the Milky Way we'll wander while we watch the folks down yonder
Oh, we're gonna have a lovely afternoon)
Haha, what a thrill you get riding on a jet
Destination Moon
(Up in the highest constellation we'll look out across the nation
'Cause the Earth is like a tiny toy balloon)
Like, look down there Scoob! Velma, Freddie, Daphne, up here!
(We'll go up, up, up, up
Straight to the Moon, we two
High in the starry blue)
You and me and Scooby-Doo!
So away we steal in a space mobile
A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go!
Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
(Destination Moon)
([Scooby:] Scooby Dooby Doo!)
