Song lyrics
She packed my bags last night, preflight 
Zero hour, nine a.m. 
And I'm gonna be high 
As a kite by then 

I miss the earth so much 
I miss my wife 
It's lonely out in space 
On such a timeless flight 

And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time 
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find 
I'm not the man they think I am at home 
Oh, no no no... 
I'm a rocket man 
Rocket man 
Burnin' out his fuse 
Up there alone 

And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time 
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find 
I'm not the man they think I am at home 
Oh, no no no... 
I'm a rocket man 
Rocket man 
Burnin' out his fuse 
Up there alone 

Mars ain't the kind of place 
To raise your kids 
In fact, it's cold as hell 
And there's no one there to raise them 
If you did 

And all this science 
I don't understand 
It's just my job 
Five days a week 

A Rocket Man 
Rocket Man 

And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time 
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find 
I'm not the man they think I am at home 
Oh, no no no... 
I'm a rocket man 
Rocket man 
Burnin' out his fuse 
Up there alone 

And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time 
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find 
I'm not the man they think I am at home 
Oh, no no no... 
I'm a rocket man 
Rocket man 
Burnin' out his fuse 
Up there alone 

And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time(7x)

We did a rocketry unit in class, just last year. My teacher played this song over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Everyone in the school started to get really sick of it.

It was William Shatner who made a version of this, sitting on a chair, smoking and almost telling the song, not singing it. That was the inspiration of the Stewie skit in FG.
