[English]
We're on the rocketBaby, baby, we're on the rocket
Venus and Mars now, can't be apart now
Baby, baby, put me in your pocket
We're on a mission, get in position
Put the plug in the socket, give me all your power
When you turn it on, I can go for hours
Hit the switch, push the button, baby, then you'll see
We can have it all, baby, you and me
Kiss the stars tonight
You and me, oh, we will
Write our name in lights
They will see we're in love tonight
Love tonight, we're in love tonight
Love tonight, love tonight
We're in love tonight
We're on the rocket
Baby, baby, we're on the rocket
Wherever we land, you'll be my spaceman
Baby, baby, we're supersonic
Now we together, will last forever
Put the plug in the socket, give me all your power
When you turn it on, I can go for hours
Hit the switch, push the button, baby, then you'll see
We can have it all, baby, you and me
Kiss the stars tonight
You and me, oh, we will
Write our name in lights
They will see we're in love tonight
Love tonight, we're in love tonight
Love tonight, love tonight
We're in love tonight
Put the plug in the socket, give me all your power
When you turn it on, I can go for hours
Hit the switch, push the button, baby, then you'll see
We can have it all, baby, you and me
We-we-we can have it all, baby, you and me
We-we-we can have it all, baby, you and me...
Kiss the stars tonight
You and me, oh, we will
Write our name in lights
They will see we're in love tonight
Love tonight, we're in love tonight
Love tonight, love tonight
We're in love tonight
We're on the rocket
We-we-we're on the rocket

Key Grammar Structures
-
We're on the rocket
➔ Present continuous (we're = we are) for a current/future action
➔ The contraction "we're" combines "we" + "are" to show a state that is happening now.
-
Put me in your pocket
➔ Imperative mood – direct command, with object pronoun "me"
➔ The verb "Put" at the start gives a command; "me" is the object receiving the action.
-
I can go for hours
➔ Modal verb "can" + base verb for ability or possibility
➔ "Can" shows that the speaker "I" has the ability to "go" for a long time.
-
When you turn it on, I can go for hours
➔ Zero conditional (if/when + present, result + modal "can")
➔ "When" introduces a condition that is always true; the main clause uses "can" to express the result.
-
You and me, oh, we will
➔ Future simple with "will" + subject pronoun for prediction or promise
➔ "Will" marks a future action; the phrase "we will" suggests a shared intention or promise.
-
Hit the switch, push the button, baby, then you'll see
➔ Sequence of imperatives followed by a future result clause with "will" contracted to "you'll"
➔ "Hit" and "push" are commands; "you'll" = "you will" signals what will happen after the commands.
-
Write our name in lights
➔ Bare infinitive used as a command (imperative) without subject pronoun
➔ The verb "Write" starts the sentence, directly urging the listener to perform the action.
-
Now we together, will last forever
➔ Future simple with "will" after a temporal adverb "now" for strong prediction
➔ "Now" sets the present moment, and "will last" projects that the relationship continues indefinitely.
