[Hidden track]

[by Donovan Leitch of the album Cosmic Wheels, 1973]

|
I was impressed like everyone when man began to fly
|
out of earthly regions to planets in the sky
|
with total media coverage we watched the heroes land
|
as ceremoniously they disturbed the cosmic sand
|
|
I awe with admiration we listened to the talk
|
such pride felt they, such joy to be upon the moon to walk
|
my romantic vision shattered when it was explained to me
|
spacemen wear old diapers in which they shit and pee
|
|
[chorus:]
|
|
oh the intergalactic laxative will get you from here to there
|
relieve you and believe me without a worry or care
|
if shitting is your problem when you're out there in the stars
|
the intergalactic laxative will get you from here to mars
|
|
they don't partake like you and I of beefy burger mush
|
their food is specially prepared to dissolve into slush
|
absorbed my multi-fibres in the super diaper suit
|
otherwise the slush would trickle down inside the boot
|
|
you may well ask now what becomes of liquid they consume
|
a pipe is led from penis head to a unit in the room
|
the water is recirculated, filtered for re-use
|
in case of anti-gravity, pee gets on the loose
|
|
wherever man has conquered on the quest for frontiers new
|
I'm glad he's always had to do the no. one and two
|
it makes it all so ordinary just like you and me
|
to know the greatest heroes they had to shit and pee!
