New Favorite Song

This is the Nat King Cole version of "Destination Moon," but I just love Dinah Washington's version which is available on Groveshark.

DESTINATION MOON

Come and take a trip in my rocket ship

We'll have a lovely afternoon

Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly

Destination moon



Travel fast as light 'til we're lost from sight

The earth is like a toy balloon

What a thrill you get ridin' 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 spacemobile

A supersonic honeymoon

Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go!

Destination moon



There once was a time when the colorful thing to do

Was to call for a date on a bicycle built for two

But cars and trains and even planes

All have had their day

Now the time is due to call for you

In the modern atomic way



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 spacemobile

A supersonic honeymoon

Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go!

Destination moon
