(as sung by the Surfin' People)
Young man, you've got stars in your eyes, I said
Young man, we've got a shuttle that flies, I said
Young man, you don't want to make fries,
There's no need to be unhappy
Young man, there's a place you can work, I said
Young man, if you like Captain Kirk,
You can work there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time
It's fun to work at the N-A-S-A
It's fun to work at the N-A-S-A
They have everything, it's as cool as you thought,
You can hang out with astronauts
It's fun to work at the N-A-S-A
It's fun to work at the N-A-S-A
You can hang with CB, while you work in DT,
You can all eat in Building 3
Late nights, in the SSTF, we are
Trying, to link with the SMS, but it's
Crashing, the model's just such a mess,
But you got to know this one thing
Simming, until two in the morn, we are
Training, a late lunch it's popcorn,
But we love it, at the N-A-S-A
They will have a job for you today
It's fun to work at the N-A-S-A
It's fun to work at the N-A-S-A
They have everything, you can work MCC,
You can hang out with George Abbey,
It's fun to work at the N-A-S-A
It's fun to work at the N-A-S-A
Beer at Bradley's, or a pint at Molly's,
At Boondoggles, the beer is almost free.
Young man, there's a cookoff in town, I said
Surfin' is the best all-around
With Tequila, we've got lots of free shots
And Twister with booze on the dots,
That's why we say "come on, have fun",
Chili Cookoff, go down NASA Road One
It's a place there called the N-A-S-A
They can start you back on your way
It's fun to eat Surfin' Chili,
It's fun to eat Surfin' Chili,
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
N-A-S-A, it's fun to work at the N-A-S-A
Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down
Young man, young man, pick yourself off the ground
N-A-S-A, and just go to the N-A-S-A
Young man, young man, I was once in your shoes
Young man, young man, I was down with the blues
