Daniel do you remember
You were in such a state
The boys that wait
Outside your house
Have got your number
And are not afraid to use it

They’ll probably give it out
To anyone they see
Including me
They’ll probably make up your mind as if you want them to

Oh you!
Those boys tell you what to do all the time
On and later on you said I can be just what I want
And they said you’re lying
Well you were born to be an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die trying
What a way to live and die

And you wonder why
Boys will cry
Boys will be boys
They should listen
Do as their mothers tell them,
“If you know what’s good for you,
Behave yourself this time, for me”
“If you know what’s good for you,
Don’t lay around complaining all day”

Oh my!
The boys that wait are on the line and they’re not crying
On and later on
You will tell them what went wrong and they’ll say you’re lying
But you were born to be an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die trying
There’d be nothing wrong with that

You waste your time, come waste mine

Oh my!
The boys that wait are on the line and they’re not crying
On and later on
You will tell them what went wrong and they’ll say you’re lying
But you were born an astronaut
To do it or die trying
There’d be nothing wrong with that
