[Verse]

She had whiskers made for the stars

Dreams carried her above Mars

A tuxedo cat with cosmic grace

Félicette flew into space

[Chorus]

Paws on the ground but a heart in the sky

The first cat to take that daring fly

Science called her name she did her part

Félicette the astronaut with a lion’s heart

[Verse 2]

From Paris streets to a rocket’s roar

She opened up an uncharted door

Lifting off with a velvet meow

A space-bound legend we honor now

[Chorus]

Paws on the ground but a heart in the sky

The first cat to take that daring fly

Science called her name she did her part

Félicette the astronaut with a lion’s heart

[Bridge]

She sailed through the Milky Way's embrace

Eyes wide open to the starry space

A feline hero etched in time

Her leap of faith her climb divine

[Chorus]

Paws on the ground but a heart in the sky

The first cat to take that daring fly

Science called her name she did her part

Félicette the astronaut with a lion’s heart
