julia ecklar & leslie fish - surprise! lyrics
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]
