-Blastoff!

Muffin,

it's almost time for bed.

OK, Sam'l.

Kaboom! Hee-hee-hee!

Come on, Muffin.

WHOOSH!

MUFFIN GASPS

Greetings, young birdling.

Ahh!

'Udy?

Nice costume, Rudy.

Spacey!

It's not a costume, Samuel,

It's an official space uniform.

Tonight, I, astronaut Rudy,

will be flying to...

the moon!

You're flying all the way to the moon?

That's right, all the way.

# Samuel I would bet this is my best idea yet

# I've made all the travel preparations

# I'll soar fast and free

# Up through the galaxy

# Past dipper dapper dazzling constellations

# Here I come outer space

# Where I'll float like a balloon

# Not a thing can stop me now

# I'm going to the moon. #

And you two are coming with me, right?

Muffin come, Muffin come!

I don't know, Rudy.

Samuel!

When will we have another opportunity to go to...

..the moon?

OK, Rudy, count me in.

Brilliant!

# You two made a wise decision

# To join in the expedition

# No trip could be better

# Than ours

# You can mark my words

# We'll be the only birds

# Flitting fleeting flying past the stars

# Muffin go to outer space

# You'll float like a balloon

# Not a thing can stop us now

ALL: # We're going to the moon! #

First thing's first -

you two need your official space uniforms.

But, Rudy, we don't have space uniforms!

Don't worry Samuel,

I've got it all worked out!

# It's the perfect night for a rocket ship flight

# Look at all the stars out on display

# Let's gather our supplies

# And say our goodbyes

# Then we'll be on our way. #

Missy!

Ah, little birds,

there you are!

# Missy, can you help us?

# We need helmets and boots... #

Muffin want what 'Udy wear!

Yes, we need space suits.

Sparkly!

# Oui, I have zee outfits

# You've come to the right place

# As it just so happens

# My specialty is space

# Come here let me see This is perfect for tonight

# I like the red, oui, oui

# But perhaps a little tight. #

Oh la la! Some of my best work.

-ALL:

-Thanks, Missy!

-Au revoir, little birds.

Enjoy space!

# One more stop before our trip

# We still need a rocket ship

ALL: # And then we'll be on our way. #

Hi, Quinn.

Is the rocket ship ready?

Almost, but I could use a little help finishing it.

-# Would you put this seat inside and screw it into place? #

-Sure!

# And you, fasten this steering wheel to guide you through space. #

-Right!

-Hmm...

# There's still something missing it could use a bit of spice

# I've got a great idea... #

Let's add a light device.

And finally a coat of paint.

# Don't forget this side... #

Presenting your new rocket ship,

# It's ready for a ride! #

Yeah!

ALL: Thanks, Quinn!

ALL: # It's a perfect night for a rocket ship flight

# Look at all the stars out on display

# The sky is crisp and clear

# And the time is finally here

# Now we are on...our...way! #

Tonight, I, astronaut Rudy,

will boldly take you where no bird has gone before.

MR BEAKMAN YAWNS

Just what is going on here?

Mr Beakman, we're flying to...

the moon!

The moon?

I see.

Oh,

I am sorry, children,

but I must tell you, it simply can't be done.

-All:

-Huh?

# I know you're all excited

# But I'll tell you something true

# While we birds are impressive

# There are some things we can't do

# Alas, the race to get to space

# Is one that birds can't run

# No birdie can fly to the moon

# It simply can't be done. #

But, Mr B...

Ah-ah-ah!

# While your determination

# Is something I don't doubt

# You'll find the moon is far too far

# You're wings will tire out

# Up there the air is freezing cold

# These suits won't be enough

# Travelling to outer space requires stronger stuff

# Alas, the race to get to space

# Is one that birds can't run

# No birdie can fly to the moon

# It simply can't be done

# It simply can't be done. #

-But...

-Can't be done.

-But...

-Way too far.

-But...

-Never ever.

-..Mr B?

-Yes?

-I know we can get to the moon.

Hop in, everybirdie!

Mr Beakman!

# There's always a way. #

Please, Beaky?

Get in?

Oh, all right. But you'll see,

it's just not possible.

Ooh! A little snug!

Everybirdie ready?

On the count of three let's pedal up the tree.

One, two, three!

Blastoff!

ALL: Wow! Ooh! Ahhh!

It's beautiful!

Rudy, did you make this pretend moon yourself?

Of course!

You didn't think we were going to the REAL moon, did you, Mr B?

Well, I, um...

# It's like a different universe

# The view is just sublime

# When did you set all this up?

# You know, in my spare time?

# What a marvellous sensation

# I feel so light and free

# This calls for celebration

# You've brought the moon to the tree

# Muffin go exploring and pick up moon rocks

# Muffin knock them over

# Kaboom, more fun than blocks

# I found the strangest creature

-# What do you think it could be?

-Bleep bleep

# A moonling straight from outer space

BOTH: # You brought the moon to the tree. #

I'm not really a moonling!

It's just me, Elliot.

-SHE GIGGLES

-Muffin know!

# I can slide down craters

# Or swing on shining stars

# Watch me be the very first bird to land on Mars

# Oh, this is quite impressive

-ALL:

-# On that we all agree

# Rudy, you did it

-ALL:

-# You brought the moon to the tree

# You brought the moon to the tree! #

Well, Rudy! Hoo-hoo! You certainly had me fooled.

I thought we were going to the REAL moon!

No, not really.

But someday, Mr Beakman.

Someday.

Bleep!

# Different is good

# If you are all the same you'll be ashamed

# Different is good

# Oh yeah

# We wouldn't change it if we could

# It's part of the neighbourhood

ALL: # We're different and different is good! #
