Hey hey what do you sayþ?þ
Had me a woman she ran away
Warned me one time, warned me twice
Found me out and it weren’t too nice
Hey hey what do you say?
Had me a woman she ran away
Can the chatter, bye bye dear
Carve me a crimson career
Well, whoopsin-a whoopsin (dress it up)
Jan-jan-jammerin (dress it up, dress it up)
Yabba-yabba-ding-ding (dress it up)
Delta hey max Nine
We will be fine

Even though NASA say

Hey hey what do you sayþ?þ
Had me a woman she flew away
Climbed onto the nearest star
Miss her lots, but there you are
Hey hey what do you sayþ?þ
Had me a woman she flew away
I don’t worry, things are fine
Way up there in Apollo Nine
Well, whoopsin-a whoopsin (dress it up)
Jan-jan-jammerin (dress it up, dress it up)
Yabba-yabba-ding-ding (dress it up)
Delta hey max Nine
We will be fine

Hey Hey what do you sayþ?þ
Had me a woman she flew away
Climbed onto the nearest star
Miss her lots, but there you are
Hey hey what do you sayþ?þ

You can run, you won’t get far
A-leyben in your capella
Hey Hey what do you sayþ?þ
Had me a woman she flew away
Climbed onto the nearest star
Miss her lots, but there you are
Hey hey what do you sayýþ?þ
Blast off time, I’m pleased to say
Write a letter, be home soon
Busy lassooing the moon
Ten – Nine – Eight – Seven – Six – Five
Fa fa fa fa fa five…
