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
