Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mott the Hoople and the Game of Life
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Andy Kaufman in the wrestling match
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Monopoly, twenty-one, checkers, and chess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Fred Blassie in a breakfast mess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Let's play Twister, let's play Risk
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
See you in heaven if you make the list
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[PreChorus]
Now, Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me are you locked in the punch?
Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby
Are we losing touch?
[Chorus]
If you believed
They put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed
There's nothing up his sleeve
Then nothing is cool
[Verse 4]
Moses went walking with the staff of wood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Newton got beaned by the apple good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Charles Darwin had the gall to ask
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[PreChorus]
Now, Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
And, Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby
Are you having fun?
[Chorus]
If you believed
They put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed
There's nothing up his sleeve
Then nothing is cool
[Bridge]
Here's a little agit for the never-believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Here's a little ghost for the offering
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Here's a truck stop instead of Saint Peter's
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Andy Kaufman's gone wrestling (Wrestling bears)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[PreChorus]
Now, Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me are you locked in the punch?
And, Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby
Are we losing touch?
[Chorus]
If you believed
They put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed
There's nothing up his sleeve
Then nothing is cool
[Chorus]
If you believed
They put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed
There's nothing up his sleeve
Then nothing is cool
[Chorus]
If you believed
They put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed
There's nothing up his sleeve
Then nothing is cool
[Chorus]
If you believed
They put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed
There's nothing up his sleeve
Then nothing is cool
