Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don't think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don't think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don't want to live on the moon

  • I still think Jim Henson's voice of Ernie and Kermit was better. Smoother.

    Steve Whitmire does a great job though, it's a very hard act to follow.

  • i remember this song when i was a kid.......hearing shawn colvin singing it with ernie, brings back memories

  • i think i like the one with Aaron Neville better but this is good!

  • so sweet!!!!

  • WOW... 1st time hearing this. This is "AMAZING".. You know, I think most people like Ernie was because he sang a lot. Other than a few other individual's, he sang a lot of really cool songs. This song was one that was so remembered. You all remember Ernie's "Imagine"? That one is also a fav...

  • Maybe they should've dubbed Ernie with Jin Henson's original recording from 1978.

  • taken from Elmopalooza

  • Okay, then.

  • In the audio way.
