STAR SONGS & RHYMES

TWINKLING STARS
            At night I see the twinkling stars
            And a great big smiling moon.
            My mother tucks me into bed
            And sings a good-night tune.

TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STARS
Tune:  “Music, Music, Music”

Twinkle, twinkle little stars
Friends of Jupiter and Mars.
All you do the whole night through
Is twinkle, twinkle, twinkle.

Rockets keep flying higher,
Keep flying further, further every day
And need the stars to chart their way.

So while you watch the ships go by,
Keep on lighting up the sky,
Keep on shinning through the night
And twinkle, twinkle, twinkle.

JUMP IN THE ROCKET
            Jump in the rocket
            We blast off soon.
            We’re taking a trip
            Up to the moon.

            Up, up we climb,
            Up towards the stars.
            Some day we might
            Even land on mars.

TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR
Tune:  “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”

Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are.
