Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Let me take you on a little trip

My supersonic ship's

At your disposal if you feel so inclined

Well, alright

We're gonna travel faster than light

So do up your overcoat tight

And you'll go anywhere you want to decide

Well, alright

[Refrain]

Too many people

Side by side

Got no place to hide

[Verse 2]

On my supersonic rocket ship

Nobody has to be hip

Nobody needs to be out of sight

Oh, out of sight, man, far out

Nobody's gonna travel second class

There'll be equality

And no suppression of minorities

[Refrain]

We'll take this planet

Shake it 'round

And turn it upside down

On my supersonic rocket ship

[Refrain]

It ain't no magic

Ain't no lie

You'll laugh so loud, you'll cry

Up and down

Round and round

On my supersonic rocket ship

[Verse 3]

Let me take you on a little trip

My supersonic ship's

At your disposal if you feel so inclined

Well, alright

Nobody gonna travel second class

There'll be equality

And no suppression of minorities

Well, alright

[Outro]

Let me take you on a little trip

On my supersonic rocket ship
