I like it here and so do you On the one that s green and blue With everything that life requires A big hydrogen camp-fire We could be here quite a few days The next place is four light-years away When you re camping by the sun Yippee-yay-yeh, yippee-yay-yo Outer space is mighty cold Unless by chance, you have found A nice, warm star to fly around Unless you re camping by the sun Like the earth roped the moon The sun s got us in it s own lasso We re doing dishes and we re taking showers At sixty-five thousand miles and hour It makes you want to play the guitar And sing songs with Jupiter and Mars When you re camping by the sun Yippee-yay-yeh, yippee-yay-yah Outer space is very dark Unless with luck, you have found A nice, bright star to fly around Unless you re camping by the sun Yippee-yay-yeh, yippee-yay-yo Outer space is dark and cold Unless by chance, you have found A bright, warm star to fly around Unless you re camping by the sun And just before you close your eyes When the sun s on the other side You can wonder at the countless thousands The other fires and who s around them And if the sticks for their hot dogs Are ninety-eight million miles long When you re camping by the sun
