"Spacegirl (Shirley's)"
(originally by Shirley Collins)

My mama told me I should never venture into space
But I did, I did, I did
She said no Terran girl should trust the Martian race
But I did, I did, I did

A rocket pilot asked me on a voyage to go
And I was so romantic I couldn't say no
That he was just a servo robot how was I to know
So I did, I did, I did

She told me never venture out among the asteroids
But I did, I did, I did
She said the Milky Way was something to avoid
So I did, I did, I did

She said that Venus was too hot and Saturn not much fun
And bug eyed monsters tended to be just a trifle dumb
She said I'd need a blaster and a needle freezer gun
And I did, I did, I did

My mama told me never trust a space engineer
But I did, I did, I did
She said three four in super drive would surely cost me dear
But I did, I did, I did

I've been as far in hyperspace as anybody can
I've traveled through the time warp on the cycloplan
They say a girl must travel for her to find her Superman
And I did, I did, I did

And I did, I did, I did
And I did, I did, I did
And I did, I did, I did
