INTRO

'Good evening. This is the intergalactic operator. Can I help you?'
'Yes. I'm trying to reach flight commander P.R. Johnson, on Mars, flight 2-4-7'
'Very well, hold on please (beeping). Get through!'
'Thank you operator!'

VERSE 1:
Hi darlin'! How are you doing?
Hey baby, were you sleeping?
Oh I'm sorry, but I've been really missing you!

Hi darlin'! How's the weather?
Say baby,is that cold better now?
Oh I'm sorry, is there someone there with you?

BRIDGE:
Ooooh...since you went away, there's nothing going right!
I just can't sleep alone at night.. I'm not ashamed to say
I badly need a friend ... or it's the end.

CHORUS:
Now, when I look at the clouds across the moon.Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon.
Oh baby, you'll hurry home to me.

VERSE 2:
Hi darlin', the kids say they love you.
Hey baby, is everything fine with you?
Please forgive me, but I'm trying not to cry...

BRIDGE:
Ooooh...I've had a million different lovers on the phone.
But I just stayed right here at home.
I don't think that I can take it anymore this crazy war.

CHORUS

'I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but we are experiencing violent storm conditions in the asteroid belt at this time. We may lose this valuable deep space communication link. Please, be as brief as possible.Thank you.'

BRIDGE

or it's...or it's...'Hello?' 'Hello operator?'
'Yes, we've lost the connection! Could you try again please?'
'i'm sorry, but I'm afraid we've lost contact with Mars 2-4-7 at this time.'

Chorus repeat 3 times WHILE SAYING:
'Ok.Thank you very much..I'll..I'll try again next year..next year..next year..next year'

CHORUS INTERMEZZO

SOLO BASS-GUITAR
BRIDGE INTERMEZZO
CHORUS repeat 3 times WHILE FADING OUT'

Voilà, Bc has sung it for Fly.
What kind of music do you like, Nethercat?



Bc

Hi BC

Oh, I wish I could hear you singing it. I've just never heard it before.

I like all kinds of music, really, but I must say it always makes me feel better when I hear a lively tune which makes me dance around the kitchen.
I have terrible trouble standing still when I hear music with a beat.
But I like light classical as well and used to buy all Andre Rieu albums. Don't care if Strausz is old-hat, I just love those waltzes.
The English don't know how to do those Viennese waltzes, I think.
What sort of music do you like?

Good evening Fly

I like lots of music from 1945 up to now.

Too many names, BUT I can tell you which dutchies I like:

Dolly Dots (don't tell me you don't know them, they're a natural institution!)

Anita Meyer - 'Why tell me why' (poppy but nice song)

Fay Lovsky

Golden Earring, Shocking blue

but especially THE NITS!

Bits by Focus, but not everything

Berdien Stenberg, when I'm really drunk

And on the radio I heard Maywood!

DON'T like (internationally): BeeGees, Celine Dion, Frank Sinatra and Jennifer Lopez (what a dreadful 'voice'!) and the songs are rubbish too!

Do you know Leonard Cohen, dear Fly? If so, ay ay ay take this waltz, take this waltz (with Bc)

and s

A native speaker of the language of peace,
your mate (if you don't mind!)
