Witnesses' Waltz Words and music by Leslie Fish © 1983C F C G Come along Harry and Mary and Joe. Am C G C G Pack up some lunches, and everyone go. C Am F G Fill up the camper, drive down to White Sands, F C G C And we'll pour the champagne when the Space Shuttle lands. Chorus: C G Am G Twelve thousand, half-million, million and more C Am F G Picnicking out on the warm-water shore. C F C F Nobody notes that we're always at hand C G C To watch all the spaceships that take off and land. It's the loveliest show on this Earth that you'll see; It's living and real, not just tape-on-TV. So come to Canaveral, and bring lots of beer. When the space-ship takes off we'll all stand up and cheer. Twelve thousand, half-million, million and more Picnicking out on the warm-water shore. Nobody notes that we're always at hand To watch all the spaceships that take off and land. Politicians ignore us, the media too; But if they don't notice, the ships always do. See her landing so lightly, you'd swear that she cares That she flies on two wings and a good million prayers. Twelve thousand, half-million, million and more Picnicking out on the warm-water shore. Nobody notes that we're always at hand To watch all the spaceships that take off and land. So come let's go witness the take-off today While the world's biggest beach-party cheers her away. We'll bang the drums proudly and blow on the conch. Leave a sign on your door that just says, "Out to Launch." Twelve thousand, half-million, million and more Picnicking out on the warm-water shore. Nobody notes that we're always at hand To watch all the spaceships that take off and land.
