Source for old kids' song, "Blast off, we're headed to outerspace, off we go..."

Anonymous
My mom used to sing it to me when I was a toddler. I'm now singing it to my newborn and forgot a lot of the lyrics, which go something like this:

Blast off, we're headed to outerspace
Off we go in a roaring race
Rockets are ready
[Something] is steady
We're off to see the moon...

Spaceships [floating] in outerspace
...

I think it's called "Rocketship Run" and there are a few versions available on iTunes--if it's the same song.

I just searched and Google will lead you to it.

Do tell. If it is what I found, it is one person's recollection that has somewhat different lyrics than I remember, and no clear source of the song.

Thanks for looking. That song isn't the one I'm thinking of.

Great space coaster theme?

We’re going a trip in our favorite rocket ship
Zooming through the sky
Little Einsteins!

Blast off, we're headed for outerspace.
Off we go at a zipping pace.
Our rockets are ready,
So all hands be steady.
We're off to visit the moon.

Spaceship, spaceship
Passing the stars in the sky.

Gleaming brightly,
See the (?) comets pass by.

Blast off, we're headed...

This is what I remember, from CA elementary school in the 60s

See the bright comets pass by.
