Space Junk Lyrics

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, BLAST OFF!
How're we going to clean up all that rubbish in space?
Those chunks and chunks of metal well, it's quite a disgrace

We need Ian Keirnan,
Yes, he's the man.
If anyone can organise it, he can.

Do we need a giant vacuum to slurp up all the bits,
And pile it all together in a big celestial skip,
Or attach a mammoth magnet to a rocket base,

To attract the bits and pieces from the space race?
How're we going to clean up all that rubbish in space?
Those chunks and chunks of metal well it's quite a disgrace!

We need Ian Keirnan,
Yes he's the man!,
If anyone can organise it, he can.
If anyone can organise it, he can!
