Default Earthbound Girl

At long last, I've made another parody. To the tune of "Uptown Girl":
Quote:
Earthbound girl
She's been living in such a small world
Bet she doesn't know why rockets fly
Bet nobody ever told her why

I'm gonna try for an earthbound girl
She knows nothing that's beyond this world
Though I know she tries as best she can
And now she's looking for a spaceman
That's what I am

And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And sees she wants to fly

She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an earthbound girl

You know I've seen her in her way-small world
She wants some answers for her whys
And now she's looking to the skies
Maybe she cries

Earthbound girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But you know I can show her the stars
Maybe someday we'll go to Mars
And then I'll win

And when I'm flying I'm sighing
Why can't she be mine

She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With and earthbound girl

She knows nothing that's beyond this world
Though I know she tries as best she can
And now she's looking for a spaceman
That's what I am

Earthbound girl
She's my earthbound girl
You know I'm in love
With an earthbound girl
My earthbound girl
You know I'm in love
With an earthbound girl
My earthbound girl

OMGs!!!!!

A little voice asked me if I should make a smart-A$$ comment RE: the Billy Joel song. But I said 'No, that would be inapprpriate."

And then YOU beat me to it!

Egads! I must be getting old.

Great work, BTW. When does the video come out?

Please don't get me started, as I go nuts with poetry and lyrics.

I have to say i am seriously impressed Kai, normally I don't go in much for parodies of songs, with a very few exceptions, but that is awesome!
