Lockdown Spaceman

With many thanks to late, lamented Neil Innes – original lyrics & song to Urban Spaceman are here

I’m the lockdown spaceman, baby; I’ve got Zoom

Live from my unmade bedroom

I’m the lockdown spaceman, baby; I’m on Teams

Like I’m living in my dreams

I don’t need colleagues

I don’t feel stress

If you were to lock me down, I’d just forget to dress

I’m the lockdown spaceman, baby; I’m getting stout

Ouch, there’s my gout

I fake it every morning with a smile upon my face

With my trusty video link, I don’t miss my old workplace

I’m the lockdown spaceman, I was intelligent and keen

Now I’m Mr Bean

I’m the lockdown spaceman, I’m a skiver second to none

As the days blur into one

I’m always playing Fortnite, I’ve forgotten about my job

I don’t give a toss no more, my boss is a total knob

I’m the lockdown spaceman, baby; here comes the twist —

I’ve been dismissed

John ‘Life on Mars Bars’ Moe
