And I did

(Booby Cheval)

My mama told me
I should never venture into space
But I did, I did, oh yes, I did
She said no Terran girl should trust the Martian race
But I did, I did, I did
A rocket pilot asked me on a voyage to go
And he was so romantic
I just couldn't say no,
But he was just a servo robot - how was I to know ?
So I did, I did, I really did

She warned me not to go around among the asteroids
But I did, I did, I did
She said I'd make those class 3 mutants dreadfully annoyed
And I did, I did, I did
She told me Saturn was too hot and Venus not much fun
And bug-eyed monsters tended to be just a trifle dumb
She said I'd need a blaster and I'd need a freezer gun
And I did, I did, I really did

Take it away, Sammy......
(Sammy's sax solo)

She said to find a man out there and try to settle down
And I did, I did, I did
She said my kids might come out one-eyed, green, all bald, all round
And they did, they did - ouch ! - they did
My cosmic husband died a monster a hundred years ago
My daughter's in the Milky Way, working as a 'ho
And I'm so old and doddery I've nothing more to show
But I did, I did, oh yes, I did
Oh I did, I did, I did
Oh I did !

Booby
