Rocket Ship

12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, blastoff !

You say you're too young to love a man like me
Just because you're 13 and I'm 73
Well I realised the solution lies in relativity
Space and time ain't absolute, so said Albert E

But I'm going to need
A rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship . . .

Well I got myself a rocket ship and flew off to the stars
Travelled at the speed of light, stayed a way for a couple of years
According to my 'rithmatic and assuming I survive
When I return I'll be 74 and you'll be 65

Then will you love me
Then will you kiss me
Will you have missed me
When I step down from my

Rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship . . .

This ain´t such a fine mind
I ain´t no Einstein
Now I'm here and you're gone
There's a tombstone with your name on
Somethings gone very wrong
I stayed away too long

On my rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship . . .

I saw the rings of Saturn, saw Jupiter and Mars
Fade in my rear view mirror when I flew off to the stars
And now I'm back at the chicken shack and a pretty girl I spy
Same old problem, same solution, back to space I'll fly

On my rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship, rocket ship . . .
