I went to Jupiter in bits of paper,
in bits of paper I did;
all I had was a colander and a fish tank with a lid.
In one hand, a notebook,
in another, a little chestnut chicken that says cluck!
Then I sat outside in the garden, waiting for some luck!

I went to Jupiter in bits of paper,
in bits of paper I did;
all I had was a colander and a fish tank with a lid…
Soon I was up in the dark night sky,
“Cripes! I hope I don’t die,
it’s so high! Oh my!
I sure do hope that I don’t die!”

I went to Jupiter in bits of paper,
in bits of paper I did,
all I had was a colander and a fish tank with a lid.
In a few more long and boring hours,
I had claimed Jupiter ours!
Then I sung my little ditty,
though it may sound rather silly:
“I went to Jupiter in an aero-oh wait!…
I went to Jupiter in bits of paper,
in bits of paper I did;
all I had was a colander and a fish tank with a lid!”
There. That’s better
Anyway;
It took three hours and a day,
to get back home to sweet, sweet Norway!
It took three hours and a day,
My mum didn’t even notice I was away!
I went to Jupiter in bits of paper,
in bits of paper I did;
