I'm a Little Rocket

Tune: "I'm a Little Teapot"

I'm a little rocket,

Tall and thin,

Here is my nose cone,

Here is my fin.

When it come to blast off,here I zoom

Off the lauch pad,to the moon

”

Rocket, rocket in the sky

Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

“

Rocket, rocket in the sky,

Flying fast and flying high,

Off to find the ISS,

What's inside? Can you you guess?

Rocket, rocket in the sky,

Flying fast and flying high.
