00:28I'll see you next time
00:39Jake is a snake who's small and bright green
00:42So small, in fact, he's never seen
00:49He slithers along the ground so low
00:53He'd stop for a chat, but no one would know
00:56For all Jake sees are hooves and feet
01:00Not the prettiest of sights for a snake to meet
01:05Whenever he calls, hello up there
01:08A reply from above is ever so rare
01:15One night in bed, while reading a book
01:17Jake turned to a page, which made him look
01:22He saw a picture of a balloon
01:25All red and shiny as big as the moon
01:29That's it, said Jake
01:31I'll take to the sky
01:33And look other creatures straight in the eye
01:37With that he smiled and switched off the light
01:41Lay down on his pillow
01:43And slept well all night
01:47He bought a balloon the very next day
01:50From a dear old dog whose name was Ray
01:54Jake added a basket with pieces of string
01:57And strung up some sandbags, which completed the thing
02:02Then he jumped inside and rose up on the breeze
02:08But was only as high as most creatures' knees
02:12He shouted, Ahoi!
02:15But still no one could hear
02:17He'd have to go higher to reach an ear
02:21So he cut off the sandbags
02:26Up, up, up he rose
02:29Passing a bear, just missing his nose
02:32At last he was noticed
02:35Hooray! said the snake
02:37He held out his tail and said
02:39Hi, I'm Jake
02:42But something was wrong
02:44He continued to rise
02:46What's happening? said Jake
02:48As he climbed to the skies
02:50The crowd got worried
02:52The higher Jake got
02:54They had to squint
02:55For soon Jake was a dot
02:57Up higher and higher
03:00He passed a blue bird
03:01A snake in a basket?
03:04That's truly absurd
03:07He passed through a cloud
03:10Above was a star
03:12Oh dear, oh my
03:14He'd gone too far
03:17A few minutes later
03:19He'd reached the moon
03:21Bright and shining like a silver spoon
03:24The balloon went
03:26Pop!
03:27Then spun through the air
03:29Darting around from here to there
03:31He'd flown too close
03:33To the pointy bit
03:34How he wished he'd brought
03:35A puncture kit
03:36Whizzing around
03:37It made a rude sound
03:41Eventually landing
03:42On very soft ground
03:45The animals came running
03:47Hooting and cheering
03:49When they saw the balloon
03:50In a grassy clearing
03:53Jake voiced his confusion
03:55What's this all about?
03:56Then a bear replied
03:59Then a bear replied
04:00In a booming shout
04:01It's never been done
04:04A snake on the moon
04:07It's quite an achievement
04:09And in a balloon
04:12So they partied all night
04:15In great celebration
04:17Of Jake the snake
04:19The space sensation
04:23Now Jake is a hero
04:25Who's truly adored
04:27And from that happy day
04:29He was never ignored
04:34We'll see you consistently
04:35Go to Jake
04:36Bye
04:38Bye
