Liner Notes

#acousticrock #acousticonetake
A rock ’n roll novelty song. The true purpose of space travel — to save on shipping costs.

Lyrics

It was the top of a mountain range
A place alien and strange
So imagine my surprise
When I heard a knock

A monk in robes of blue
Strode into my igloo
He said
Why’d you come all this way
Just to pick up a rock

Pick up the rock
Keep it moving now
Pick up the rock
Pick up the rock

He said
A rock is not so hard
You can find them in your back yard
So why would you
Come all this way

I said
It’s not just a rock you see
It’s from another galaxy
Who knows what a rock
Like this might say

Pick up the rock
Keep it moving now
Pick up the rock
Pick up the rock

One day
Someone said let’s
Think outside the box
Different places
Different rocks
Well

I think that you might find
You can order them online
Rocks from every nebula
And star

You won’t pay much for the rocks
But when you see the shipping costs
That’s what might make a person
Come this far

Pick up the rock
Keep it moving now
Pick up the rock
Pick up the rock

Pick up the rock
Keep it moving now
Pick up the rock
Pick up the rock

Pick up the rock
Keep it moving now
Pick up the rock
Pick up the rock

That's a fun one! Space traveling rock collectors, of course. I like "a rock is not so hard" - great line!

Very fun imaginative song! I'd love to find a rock from another galaxy. And the section about the shipping costs made me smile - inspired way of explaining why someone would go so far to find a rock

Love the positive energy, the fun feel, very enjoyable and visual. I can imagine your song in a musical movie with the singers and dancers joining. Fantastic idea, singing and playing. Fun!!!
