Hey hey what do you say?
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
Carved me a crimson career.
Well whoopsin-a whoopsin (dress it up)
Jan jan jammering (dress it up, dress it up)
Yabba-yabba-ding-ding (dress it up)
Delta hey max nine
We will be fine Apollo 9
Even though NASA say
"Way out of line"
"Out of line"
10 - dress it up
9 - dress it up etc....
Hey hey what do you say?
Had me a woman she flew away
Climbed onto the nearest star
Miss her lots, but there you are.
Hey hey what do you say?
Had me a woman she flew away
I don't worry, things are fine
Way up there in Apollo 9
Well whoopsin-a whoopsin (dress it up)...etc.
We will be fine Apollo 9 etc....
Well whoopsin-a whoopsin (dress it up)...etc.
We will be fine Apollo 9 etc....
Repeat verse 3
Hey hey what do you say?
Had me a woman she flew away
Climbed onto the nearest star
Miss her lots, but there you are.
Hey hey what do you say?
Choochalaben dollaley
You can run, you won't get far
A-leyber in your capella.
Repeat verse 3
Hey hey what do you say?
Had me a woman she flew away
Climbed onto the nearest star
Miss her lots, but there you are.
Hey hey what do you say?
Blast off time, I'm please to say
Write a letter, be home soon
Busy lassooing the moon.
10 - 9 - etc.
