Did you ever see a rocket
Tune: "Have you ever seen a lassie?" "Did you ever see a rocket,

a rocket, a rocket?

Did you ever see a rocket go

this way and that?

Go this way and that way, go

this way and that way,

Did you ever see a rocket go

this way and that?"

I'm a Little Rocket
Tune: "I'm a Little Teapot" "I'm a little rocket,

Tall and thin,

Here is my nose cone,

Here is my fin.

When it come to blast off,here I zoom

Off the lauch pad,to the moon"

Rocket, rocket in the sky
Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star "Rocket, rocket in the sky,

Flying fast and flying high,

Off to find the ISS,

What's inside? Can you you guess?

Rocket, rocket in the sky,

Flying fast and flying high."
