THX ACE FOR BUYING THIS !! :+)
special shoutout 2 all dogs. love u. mwah

lyrics

the year is 1957
the place is what some people might call heaven

and up in the stratosphere,
in a soviet craft
is a dog! where no dog has gone before

and her name's
laika
laika the space dog
ol' girl's never comin' down

i'd like to see you try and make her
you'll never make her come down

back in aeronautics school, laika met a dog
another dog
named ubolnik
and they were girlfriends
lesbian space dog girlfriends
laika and ubolnik

yeah, they were kinda jaded
about the planet earth as a whole

they were tired of people
and disease
and war, and fire hydrants
of binary systems of gender
and marketed multivitamins

so laika decided to leave it behind
and go somewhere new

and up she went!! up she went!!
oh my god, so fast
up she went
up she FLEW
and became

laika
laika the space dog
ol' girl's never comin' down

i'd like to see you try and make her
you'll never make her come down

[cool uke solo]

the year is 2016
and laika and ubolnik's legacy lives on
on the moon!
that's right, on the moon

it's a moon colony, but
that's not the right word
'cause that's not what dogs would do

really it's just
a big old dog park on the moon

take your dog family on vacation there
spend the winter there with your dog partner

you can do anything, really
it's got tons of facilities
lots of restaurant
really good rating on delp (that's dog yelp)

and also, by the way,
i just want to clarify
that the dogs aren't on the moon because that's the limit of where they can go

that's not like
it's not a weak little moon base, no

it's just that they like it there!
they like the climate, they like the view

and the big blue marble is there
familiar
but not too close
it's nice for the scenery sometimes,
good if you wanna take postcard pictures

but you're not stuck there!
and if you turn, you can see galaxies and comets and
all kinds of invisible radio waves
happenin' all the time

and all kinds a gases, and colors, and
it's really great!
lots of good vibes

and it's all thanks to

laika
laika the space dog
ol' girl's never comin' down

i'd like to see you try and make her
you'll never make her come down
