julia ecklar & leslie fish - surprise! lyrics

Loading...

remember the fifties, those fat complacent days
when the future seemed a century away?
then up went sputnik; gave the world a b+tt+kick
and made it clear tomorrow starts today!

[chorus:]
beep+beep, boop+boop, h+llo there! (hey zhopa!)
sputnik sails giggling through the skies. (hey hey hey!)
red flags, red faces, jump in the race as
the sp+ce age begins with a surprise. (surprise!)

you generals once thought von braun a waste of cash
and that goddard needеd treatment really bad
thеn that global shot+put gave you a hot foot
and beep+beep, you’re blasted off the pad

[chorus]

done for a threat, propaganda or prestige?
the point is, the thing was in the sky!
it made generals frown and put money down and
meet that bet or know the reason why

[chorus]

that’s how it started, all those years ago:
the push that got us climbing into sp+ce!
cynic beginnings, greed for big winnings
but look at all we’ve gotten from that race!
[chorus]

sputnik wore out and spiraled back to earth
on re+entry, it burned up very soon
hail and goodbye to that upstart of the sky!
and in twelve more years, a man walked on the moon!

[chorus]
