“IT’S A LONG WAY TO ALPHA CENTAURI”

1990 or so
I often sing this when I depart on a long trip. I also sing my version of “You Take the High Road.”

To the tune of the chorus of “My Irish Molly” (beginning with “It’s a long way to Tipperary”)

It’s a long way to Alpha Centauri.
It’s several light years.
It’s a long way to Alpha Centauri.
Tipperary is so near.

It’s a long way to Alpha Centauri.
You can’t imagine the bus fare.
It’s a long way to Alpha Centauri.
I think I’ll stay here.
