- Five! Four! Three! Two! One!
- Blast off!
- Flying high in the sky,
- We look back and wave goodbye,
- As our spaceship is flying away.
- Past the Earth, and the stars,
- Look, there's Jupiter and Mars,
- As our spaceship is flying away.
- For it's 1-2-3,
- Lots of fun for you and me.
- Barney's the captain of the day - hooray!
- When he leads the way,
- Everything is A-OK,
- As our spaceship is flying away
- Hip hooray!
- Flying high in the sky,
- We look back and wave goodbye.
- As our spaceship is flying back home.
- To the earth, past the stars.
- We'll see Jupiter and Mars.
- As our spaceship is flying back home.
- For it's 1-2-3,
- Lots of fun for you and me.
- Barney's the captain of the day - hooray!
- When he leads the way,
- Everything is A-OK,
- As our spaceship is flying back home.
- Hip hooray!
