FIREBALL XL5

Title song from the TV series "Fireball XL5" (1962)
(Barry Gray

Don Spencer - 1962



I wish I was a spaceman
The fastest guy alive
I'd fly you round the universe
In Fireball XL5
Way out in space together
Conquerors of the sky
My heart would be a fireball, a fireball
Every time I gazed into your starry eyes

We'd take the path to Jupiter
And maybe very soon
We'd cruise along the Milky Way
And land upon the Moon
To a wonderland of stardust
We'd zoom our way to Mars
My heart would be a fireball, a fireball
'Cause you would be my Venus of the stars

But though I'm not a spaceman
Famous and reknowned
I'm just a guy that's down to earth
With both feet on the ground
It's all imagination
I'll never reach the skies
My heart is still a fireball, a fireball
Every time I gaze into your starry eyes

Fireball, fireball
Every time I gaze into your starry eyes
Fireball, fireball ......... FADE
