Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

See you heaven if you make the list
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

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?

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

Now, Andy did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?

Hey, baby are you having fun?

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

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

Here′s a truck stop instead of St. Peter's
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mr. Andy Kaufman′s gone wrestling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now, Andy did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?

Hey baby, are we losing touch?

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

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

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

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
