- Five! Four! Three! Two! One!
- Blast off!
- Flying high in the sky,

- As our spaceship is flying away.
- Past the Earth, and the stars.

- We'll see Jupiter and Mars.
- As our spaceship is flying away.
- For it's 1-2-3,
- Lots of fun for you and me.

- When he leads the way,
- Everything is A-OK,
- As our spaceship is flying away
- Hip hooray!
- Flying high in the sky,

Trivia
- Whenever this song is performed, nobody really travels into space, rather, graphic effects are used to make the viewers (children) think that they are in space.
- In Stick with Imagination!, Stephen and Keesha wore bike helmets, jackets and winter gloves.
- In Read with Me, Dance with Me, Gianna wore an orange suit, a football helmet and rain boots.
- In Grown-Ups for a Day! it is easy to see that the rocket ship Derek flew in was on earth the whole time.
