Let's go fishing
Let's go fly
Let's go farther
Than meets the eye Catch me a fish
Fly me to the moon
Tell me a story
Of a baboon I love you
More than you know
Why oh why
Did you have to go? We'll miss you Grandpa
Now you're gone
I want you to know
You're still number one So let's go fishing
Let's go fly
Let's go farther
