Sputnik Stan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They call me Spunik Stan
I view the Earth from a garbage can
I'm in Earth's orbit
It's a junk yard, man
It's just a job
I'm the satellite junk man
They call me Sputnik Stan
Spaceways maintenance man
I see a satellite about to fade
Got to collect
Weigh it in, and get paid
My name's Stan
I've been commissioned
By the alien Federation
To collect all thos junk
Floating around in space
So don't you go nicking it
Cause it's all mine
