It seems like I’m woken up in the middle of the night
We’re dressed and packed and good to go before the morning light
Get in the car and everybody puts their seat belts on
We’re going on a long, long trip that’s due to start at dawn
Get on the open road, and after just a while
Everybody sings

Today’s the day we venture forth
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Today’s the day we venture forth
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Today’s the day that we like best
Because today we start our quest
For a new adventure

We stop for breakfast, but we have to make it short
‘Cause we have to be on time to catch a plane at the airport
Go through security after checking in our bags
Take a short nap on the plane so we don’t get too much jet lag
Put our seat backs up before the plane begins to land
Then everybody sings

Today’s the day we venture forth
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Today’s the day we venture forth
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Today’s the day that we like best
Because today we start our quest
For a new adventure

We wait for luggage after getting off the plane
Then leave the airport, and we soon get all aboard a train
It leaves the station and goes rolling down the track
We can go to the dining car to get ourselves a little snack
The train stops at the station and the people all get out
And everybody sings

Today’s the day we venture forth
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Today’s the day we venture forth
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Today’s the day that we like best
Because today we start our quest
For a new adventure

Finally we’re about to start the last leg of our trip
When my family and I get on board a giant rocket ship
We’re so excited as we blast off into outer space
We are explorers on behalf of the human race
Looking for adventures out beyond the Milky Way
While everybody sings

Today’s the day we venture forth
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Today’s the day we venture forth
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Today’s the day that we like best
Because today we start our quest
For a new adventure
