There are actually a lot of musical instruments on the International Space Station (ISS) , but, to date, no harp. And, yeah there is or was a gorilla suit up there. And you have no idea how hard it is to get Martians to be in a harp video!
They’ve got gear
They’ve got tools
They’ve got satellites and space suits just in case
They’ve got tanks
Full of air
But what astronauts are missing, they just don’t have harps in space.
There are mice, and guitars
Lots of plants, all those stars
There’s a pizza printer up there in that place
But they’re not very sharp
‘Cause they don’t have a harp
Can’t excuse it for their music needs a harp in outer space.
There’s a wrench
And a bench
A gorilla suit is somewhere in the place
Telescopes
Isotopes
But what astronauts are missing, they just don’t have harps in space.
There are mice, and guitars
Lots of plants, all those stars
There’s a pizza printer up there in that place
But they’re not very sharp
‘Cause they don’t have a harp
Can’t excuse it for their music needs a harp in outer space.
Harps in space, harps in space,
Harps in space are full of grace
Harps in space, harps in space
Harps in space, would set the pace
Harps in space, harps in space
Harps in space, should have a place
Harps in space, harps in space
Harps in space, there’s not a trace
They’ve got habs
They’ve got labs
They’ve got instruments that measure and that trace
But for song
It’s all wrong
‘Cause the instrument they’re missing there is harps in outer space.
There’s a didgeridoo to toot. (di jr ee doo)
Bagpipe, keyboard, sax, and flute
And a koto and a trumpet have their place
But if I’m the one to choose then
For the best celestial muse you
Can’t excuse it for their music needs a harp in outer space.
