Rocket man

By Elton John

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long long time...

AND ... did you know that groundhogs (also known as woodchucks) are members of the squirrel family?

Squirrels

As heard on Dr. Demento

Squirrels
All we really are is squirrels
We're being hunted, we are squirrels
We are appealing, we are squirrels

We want to gather nuts
But people splatter our guts
When they're on a country drive
It isn't easy to survive

Back in the other day
I saw a squirrel get blown away
They served him on a dinner tray
They baked him into a souffle
Squirrel season opens up today
If you're a squirrel run away
I don't know what else I should say
Please call the ASPCA

Fur coats from us are made
Fur is nice but I like suede
They scrape our fur off with a blade
And never bother with first aid
We squirrels really like to play
And we like to catch some rays
Please don't kill us this we pray
We're cute and harmless anyway

Alvin, Simon, Theodore are gay.


Squirrels We're not delicious
Squirrels We are not raccoons
Squirrels Don't live in palm trees
Squirrels Or in your bathroom
Squirrels That's all we really are is...
Squirrels Isn't it fine I am a...
Squirrel Please help and save us we are...
Squirrels I wanna whip out my...
Squirrel
Squirrels
Squirrels Squirrels Squirrels Squirrels...
Squirrels Squirrels Squirrels Squirrels...
Squirrels!
