Woorden: Gaelic Storm. Cabbage. Space Race.

Well I wonder why it is
that we have rascals rogues and losers
We've got roustabouts rapscallions and a bucket load of boozers
We've got balladeers and blowhards of all sorts
We've got poets priests and pirates
but we have no astronauts

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

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

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


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

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

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