Lyrics:
It’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I’m not one of those who can easily hide, I
Don’t have much money but boy, if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
Oh, I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song
And this one’s for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked up the moss
Well, a few of the verses, well, they’ve got me quite cross
But the sun’s been quite kind
While I wrote this song
It’s for people like you that
Keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting
But these things, I do
You see, I’ve forgotten
If they’re green or they’re blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but
Now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

Rocket Man is the classic song performed by Elton John. The song is about the Rocket Man leaving for Mars and missing his family. According to the author of “The Musical Journey of Elton John”, Rocket Man was inspired by Bernie Taupin (the co-writer) seeing a distant shooting star and this lead to the opening lyrics of the song, “She packed my bags last night, pre-flight. Zero hour: 9 a.m. And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then.” Rocket Man is one of the most beloved songs in music history.
Fun fact! Elton John played “Rocket Man” at the 1998 Space Shuttle Discover launch site. Rocket Man has been covered extensively by artists including William Shatner as spoken word (this performance being parodied by The Simpsons, Family Guy, Animaniacs, and Futurama), The Nixons, Matthew Morrison of Glee, and Iron Horse among many others. The song has also appeared in cinema, including the 1997 comedy film RocketMan. It’s also appeared in TV The Big Bang Theory. There is also an NPC in World of Warcraft where an NPC called “Experimental Pilot” converses with another character in dialogue based on Rocket Man’s lyrics.
This arrangement by Andrew Wrangell is approximately grade 3 level. It’s a great song and sure to be a fantastic repertoire choice at a concert given how popular it is!

Lyrics:
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour, nine AM
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
Till touch down brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no, I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact, it’s cold as Hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
