Lyrics

Starfighter Pilot

Andrew's a Starfighter Pilot And he can get high in his jet Tells me about all his women He can get any, I'll bet You know I'll think of you Your picture on the wall I would raise my drink to you But I'll stay sober just for you Just for you, just for you Andrew's a Starfighter Pilot He knows all the girls in the world He's better than James Kirk or Tweeky I cradle his picture at night Andrew's a Starfighter Pilot I watch him on TV each day I've got all the toys from his programme And all of his past shows on tape You know I'll think of you Your picture on the wall I would raise my drink to you But I'll stay sober just for you Just for you, just for you
