(Let’s Go to Mars in a) Tinfoil Rocket 🚀🌎 Original Song

This is my performance of my original song “(Let’s Go to Mars in a) Tinfoil Rocket” from Berklee’s Spring ‘21 Earthapalooza Showcase, the College’s annual Earth Day event. I wrote this song in 2018 and to me, it’s really just about the environment, childhood, and the power of imagination.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
What if all the useless junk had a purpose,
And what if we repurposed it?
The torn-up pieces of half-used paper,
Aluminum wrapping up this morning's breakfast,

Chorus 1
Let's go to Mars in a Tinfoil Rocket,
We'll streak through the sky in the dark,
Vegetable oil will fuel our engines,
We'll fly through space in our rubbish invention,
Tinfoil Rocket,

Verse 2
An old fishbowl is an astronaut's helmet,
Your footie pajamas, a space suit,
A ripped-out airduct you found in the junkyard
Becomes an outer space garbage chute,

Chorus 2
We're going to Mars in a Tinfoil Rocket,
We streak through the sky in the dark,
Vegetable oil is fueling our engines,
We're flying through space in our rubbish invention,
Tinfoil Rocket,

Bridge
Maybe we'll burn up, flying too close to the sun,
Maybe we'll turn into sand, maybe we'll burn to dust,

Verse 3
Adults always say that things are impossible,
They say, "grow up, little girl,"
But I believe that one day my Tinfoil
Rocket will change the world,

Chorus 3
We went to Mars in a Tinfoil Rocket,
We streaked through the sky in the dark,
Vegetable oil fueled our engines,
We flew through space in our rubbish invention

Final Chorus
Let's go to Mars in a Tinfoil Rocket,
We'll streak through the sky in the dark,
Vegetable oil will fuel our engines,
We'll fly through space in our rubbish invention,
Tinfoil Rocket,
Tinfoil Rocket,
Tinfoil Rocket,
Tinfoil Rocket
