"Let's Take A Rocketship To Space" is a song from "Out to Launch". It accompanies the montage depicting Phineas and Ferb trying to build a rocket-propelled spacecraft to visit a star bought for them by their dad and runs again later during the credits.
Lyrics[]
Let's take a rocket ship to space
I hear it's a real swinging place
There isn't much air, or gravity there
The stars will make your heart race
Let's take a rocket ship
Let's take a rocket ship
Let's take a rocket ship to space
Let's take a saucer to the stars
Look out moon, move over Mars
The Martians all rock
To Basie and Bach
So bring your maracas and your jazz guitars
Let's take a saucer to the stars
(instrumental interlude)
Let's take a rocket ship
A crazy three-stage rocket ship
Let's take a rocket ship to space!
(during end credits)
Let's take a rocket ship
A crazy three-stage rocket ship
Let's take a rocket ship to space!
Voiceover: It's the final frontier, baby.
Soundtrack version[]
Let's take a rocket ship to space
I hear it's a real swinging place
There isn't much air, or gravity there
The stars will make your heart race
Let's take a rocket
Let's take a rocket
Let's take a rocket ship to space
Let's take a saucer to the stars
Look out moon, move over Mars
The Martians all rock
To Basie and Bach
So bring your maracas and your jazz guitars
Let's take a saucer to the stars
Let's take a rocket
A crazy kind of rocket
Let's take a rocket ship to space!
Voiceover: It's the final frontier, baby.
Background information[]
- Both the instrumental and vocal performance vary greatly on the soundtrack album.
- The clips of failed rockets were from the Space Race in the late 1960s and 1970s.
- The Tsiolkovsky rocket equation can be seen on the whiteboard.
Continuity[]
- An instrumental version of this song is heard as music in the Superduper Mega Superstore in "Vanessassary Roughness" as well as in the Milo Murphy's Law episodes "Athledecamathalon" and "Missing Milo".
- A solo jazz piano version of this is heard when Isabella walks into a bar in "Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars".
Allusions[]
- This song seems to be based on Fly Me to the Moon by Frank Sinatra. The songs have the same style, spoken lyrics, and they both have instrumental interludes. Both songs also feature lyrics about space travel, though Fly Me to the Moon is figurative, and "Let's Take A Rocketship To Space" is literal.
