The Imagined Village - Space Girl

This has been earworming me all week, so I figured I'd share.



Update: The Lyrics: (Further updated to match the performance.)

My mama told me I should never venture into space
But I did, I did, I did.
She said no Terran girl could 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 that 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
Yet I did, I did, I did.
And she said that the Milky Way was something to avoid
And I did, I did, I did.
She said that Venus was too hot and Saturn not much fun
Bug-eyed monsters tended to be just a trifle dumb.
She said I'd need a blaster and I'd need a freezer gun
And I did, I did, I did.

My mama told me never trust a space engineer
And yet I did, I did, I did.
She said freefall and superdrive would surely cost me dear
And yes they did, they did, they did.
I've been as far in hyperspace as anybody can,
Traveled through the time warp in the Psycho Plan.
They say a girl must travel far to find her superman
And yes I did, I did, I did.
And yes I did, I did, I did.
Oh I did, I did, I did.

1 Every lesson in life comes back to listening to your mother.

I still haven't got that one down, and I think I'm still glad for it.

2 Arthur: It's at times like this that I really wish I'd listened to my mother.
Ford: Why? What'd she say?
Arthur: I don't know! I didn't listen!
