[Verse 2]
Light years ahead
You and me gon' be getting down
On a space bed
We gon' get married in June
We gon' be getting down on the moon
[Verse 3]
Light years, interplanetary funk
Is gonna get down
Star Wars interplanetary funk
Still getting down
[Verse 4]
Music won't have no race
Only space, peaceful space
Now is time what a trip
Step inside my little ship
I can tell by your way
That you really wanna stay
Space, funky space
Peaceful space, terrible place
[Verse 5]
Wait till I've been cool
Hey baby, let's get in the groove
[Verse 6]
You know you look like somebody I met a long time ago
I know I never met you, though but
Ooh, you look like I've been knowin' you for a thousand years
God, just, ooh
I don't know what's happening, you know? But I
I'm really empowered but every time I be checking you out, you know, my
You give me some other reaction
But it seems to me though, that the reason we together here
Is that we supposed to be together
[Verse 7]
Come on baby let's go peace loving
And check out this new smoke
No, this thing I got
It ain't classified as dope
Smoke I got from Venus
Have had it all week
It's getting old
Come on and try this new thing with me, baby
It's too cold
[Verse 8]
Come on now, baby
Let's take off clean
Get in this here machine
And rocket, rocket, rocket, rocket
Hey, little baby
Let's magnetise
Magnets makes your love rise baby
[Verse 9]
Ooh sugar, let's get some more
Why do I feel like I been with you before?
Shoot me with the create gun
Simple people and lots of fun
Everybody was created
Havin' lots of fun
Let's move the party over to Star One
[Verse 10]
Alright everybody, we're moving now to come in for a landing here in Pluto
Now all of you who are in group A
Send you over to the Plutotarium to be Plutotized
Know that that you dig that
And the rest of the group B, I know y'all gon' have a ball
But hey, little miss birdsong! Come here
You follow me
[Verse 11]
Come on, baby, come on down
Razzmattazz and all that jazz
Let's plug ourselves in this machine in the ground
Let's touch each other and feel each other down
Let's razzmattazz and all that jazz
Say, we need to say what we mean
Plug our hearts into the, the real machine
Let's see if we play, babe
Let's touch each other
Let's feel each other's ass
Let's razzmattazz, all that jazz
Let's razzmattazz and all that jazz
Says "Yeah"
Says "Yes"
Let's touch each other
Let's feel each other's ass
Let's razzmattazz, all that jazz
[Verse 12]
Stop
Well it's been a fantastic trip, baby
Y'all cut it out
Come back next week
Take another load of funky four
Funky four
Know you wanna get your hands together
We be right here on time
Oh we gotta see you now
Time for the countdown baby
Give me the countdown Zac
You ready?
[Verse 13]
One, fun
Two, you
Three, me
Four, more
Five, no jive
Six, no tricks
Seven, we in heaven
Eight, everything is straight
Nine, fine
Ten, next week we'll do it again
