Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two...
One second, please
Please, Mr. Kennedy
I don't wanna go
Please don't shoot me into outer space
Please, Mr. Kennedy
I don't wanna go
Please don't shoot me into outer space
I sweat when they stuff me into pressure suits
Bubble helmet, Flash Gordon boots
No air up there in gravity zero
I need to breathe, don't need to be a hero
And are you reading me loud and clear? Oh!
Please, Mr. Kennedy
I don't wanna go
Please don't shoot me into outer space
Please, Mr. Kennedy
I don't wanna go
Please don't shoot me into outer space
I'm six-foot-two, so perhaps you'll
Tell me how to fit into a five-foot capsule
I won't be known as man of the century
If I'm blubbering upon reentry
Got a red-blooded wife with a healthy libido
You'll lose her vote if you make her a widow
And who'll play catch out in the back with our kid? Oh!
Please, Mr. Kennedy
I don't wanna go
Please don't shoot me into outer space
Please, Mr. Kennedy
I don't wanna go
Please don't shoot me into outer space
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two...
Please, Mr. Kennedy
I don't wanna go
Please don't shoot me into outer space
Please, Mr. Kennedy
I don't wanna go
Please don't shoot me into outer space
