Lonnie Holley - Six Space Shuttles and 144,000 Elephants lyrics

rate me

Woman once asked me,

Why do I sing for a queen?

I said all the Queen have done,

all of her are lay behind

I said I wasn't there for her inauguration

I wasn't there for her celebration

but I'm around when her birthday comes

so happy birthday, happy birthday

I say In my mind I got to design

In my mind I got to design

Thought about, I Thought about it

Six space shuttles, the size of the Hindenburg

and the titanic, both put together.

expandable, transformable,

And so adaptable, and just for the show of it,

for the knows of it

Six space shuttles and 144,000 elephants

Divide them by six, and every sixty hours

Let one leave the Earth from here,

and another one leave the Earth from there;

and another one leave the Earth from over yonder,

and another one leave the Earth from down yonder

and another one leave the Earth from up yonder.

By time all six get off in the universe

From the expiration of the planet Earth

When Queens get together, be fly'n around

Above the ground, and when they come back down,

when they come back down, when they come back down;

when they come back down, when they come back down,

when they come back down.

they can walk around, they can talk around

They can lead around,

they can heal the ground

They can heal the air

And fix the water too,

that's what my six space shuttles

that's what my six space shuttles

that's what my six space shuttles will do

and just for the show of it, and just for the know of it;

that all humans may know of

that all humans may know

When kings can come together and do these things for queens

Happy birthday dear queen

Happy birthday dear queen

Happy birthday,
