another fun tune

Another fun tune that appealed to me.

My momma 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 just couldn't say no
That he was just a servo robot how was I to know
So I did, I did, I did

They warned me not to go around the Moebius asteroids
But I did, I did, I did
They say I'd make those Class III mutants frightfully annoyed
And I did, I did, I did

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

They said to find a man out there and try to settle down
So I did, I did, I did

They said my kids might grow up one-eyed, green, bald or round
And they did, they did, they did

My cosmic husband died of mumps one hundred years ago
My daughter's in the milky way a tracking down a beau
And I'm so old and doddering I've nothing for to show
What I did, I did, I did

These videos are by The Imagined Village, and therefore are slightly different, but just as good. [Considering that Julie is over 70 years old, it's not that surprising that I couldn't find any copies of this song.]
