OK - my last musical entry for today - "Major John" (with apologies to David Bowie :^)

[codjh9]

And it could've been better... but hey, this is just what I came up with in a few minutes before lunch. :^)


Ground Control to Major John
Ground Control to Major John
Take your Geritol pills and strap your Palin on

Ground Control to Major John
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may Fundie's love be with you

Spoken:
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Lift-off

This is Ground Control to Major John
You really had it made
But the papers want to know what positions you wear
You had your chance to leave your Party if you’d dared

This is Major John to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And they’re voting in a most peculiar way
And the country looks very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is still blue
And there's something voters can do

Though I'm past one hundred ten years old
I'm feeling very ill
And I think my space cadet knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much (she blows!)
Ground Control to Major John
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major John?
Can you hear me, Major John?
Can you hear me, Major John?
Can you hear....

Am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth’s gone Blue
And there's nothing I can do.?
