lyrics

Strange New World

I just fell to earth – landed in a city
Lots of steel and glass, lots of dirt also
So many people here! Glad I wasn’t stepped on!
Found a place to live, where the flowers grow

It’s a strange new world! But I think I’m gonna like it
Warmer than the stars
And it’s nicer than the moon
It’s a strange new world, think I’ll put roots down inside it
There is so much here to eat
All the people are so sweet!
I’m so happy we could meat and share a bite!
There’s so much in this world for me to like

It was so cold out there, drifting out in space
So hard to get the warmth I need
I passed up Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and more
For this cozy little planet-
Somewhere that is green!

Now everything is great, all the people love me
And I love them as well, when they come to dine
Someday I’ll let them know, how much they mean to me
When I get big enough- but now it’s suppertime!

It’s a strange new world! But I think I’m gonna like it
Warmer than the stars
And it’s nicer than the moon
It’s a strange new world, think I’ll put down roots inside it
There is so much here to eat
All the people are so sweet!
I’m so happy we could meat and share a bite!
There’s so much in this world for me to like
