Space Race Lyrics - Cabbage - Gaelic Storm

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
