G5              C5
Well I wonder why it is
              E5                 D5
that we have rascals rogues and losers
           G5              C5               E5             D5  
We've got roustabouts rapscallions and a bucket load of boozers
           C5               G5               D5  
We've got balladeers and blowhards of all sorts
           C5
We've got poets priests and pirates 
D5                   G5
but we have no astronauts 

G5                   D5                    G5
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (x3)  oh, oh, oh, oh,
G5                   D5
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh  (just listen to the song, it makes sense, trust me)

G5
They say there was a space race 
         D5             G5
if there was I think I missed it
G5                                   
From the earth up to the moon and back,
D5                     G5 
doesn't that take the biscuit
D5
Well I wouldn't mind a little ride in zero gravity 
   C5                                 D5
as long as they could promise I'd be home in time for tea

            C5                  D5
I've got me two good legs if I wanna take a trip,
C5               D5
I've got no use for a rocket ship
     C5
I'll walk if you don't mind
           D5
It's how I always get around
           E5             D5
I might be staring at the stars
           C5                G5
but I keep both feet on the ground
G5                   D5  
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
                  G5
both feet on the ground
G5                   D5  
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
                          G5
I've got both feet on the ground
G5                   D5                G5    G5                   D5  
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh   Oh, oh, oh, oh   Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh    


          G5
There's a great big giant vacuum
D5               G5
up there in the sky
G5
Ah but where's the place to plug it in 
  D5                G5
I think it's all a lie
D5
I've heard of Halley's Comet, And I'll tell you what I think
      C5                          D5
It's just a kind of chemical for cleaning out the sink

G5
We've got no use for Sputnik
           D5             G5
We've got sponge to go around
G5
And you'll never see the shuttle land 
       D5                 G5
on the streets of Newlyn Town
D5
Well in the fields of "Vatimbly" there's not a launching pad in sight
      C5                            D5
We've got no "Mersa voyageurs" and we turned out all right
