太空先锋

And he sang as he watched And waited till his billy boil
I got a rocket in my pocket And a roll in my walk
So baby don’t fuss me With that north 40 talk
Here they come Zooming to meet our thunder
Oh you’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
Off we go in a wild blue yonder
The beautiful Tennessee waltz
At ’em boys Give ‘er the gun
Yes I lost my little darlin’
The night they were playing
And while they were dancin’
Climbing high into the sun
You are here And so am I
But they all disappear
And I only have eyes
