Space Race 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 want to take a trip
I got no use for a rocket ship
I’ll walk if you don’t mind that’s how I always get around
I might be staring at the stars
But I keep 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 Haley’s Comet and I’ll tell you what I think
It’s just a kind of chemical for cleaning out the sink
