The Space Race

Well I[G] wonder why it [C]is
that we have r[Em]ascals rogues and l[D]osers
We've got r[G]oustabouts raps[C]callions and a b[Em]ucket load of b[D]oozers
We've got b[C]alladeers and bl[G]owhards of all s[D]orts
We've got p[C]oets priests and pirates
[D]but we have no astro[G]nauts

[G]Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [D]oh (x3)  oh, oh, oh, [G]oh,
[G]Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [D]oh  (just listen to the song, it makes sense, trust me)

[G]They say there was a space race
if there [D]was I think I [G]missed it
[G]From the earth up to the moon and back,
[D]doesn't that take the [G]biscuit
[D]Well I wouldn't mind a little ride in zero gravity
as [C]long as they could promise I'd be [D]home in time for tea

I've got me [C]two good legs if I [D]wanna take a trip,
[C]I've got no use [D]for a rocket ship
I'll [C]walk if you don't mind
It's how I [D]always get around
I might be [Em]staring at the [D]stars
but I keep [C]both feet on the [G]ground
[G]Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [D]oh
both feet on the g[G]round
[G]Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [D]oh
I've got both feet on the [G]ground
[G]Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [D]oh   Oh, oh, oh, [G]oh   [G]Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [D]oh

There's a [G]great big giant vacuum
[D]up there in the [G]sky
[G]Ah but where's the place to plug it in
I [D]think it's all a [G]lie
[D]I've heard of Halley's Comet, And I'll tell you what I think
It's j[C]ust a kind of chemical for [D]cleaning out the sink

[G]We've got no use for Sputnik
We've got s[D]ponge to go ar[G]ound
[G]And you'll never see the shuttle land
on the [D]streets of Newlyn [G]Town
[D]Well in the fields of "Vatimbly" there's not a launching pad in sight
We've [C]got no "Mersa voyageurs" and [D]we turned out all right
