TAKE ME APART

Aldebaran is great, okay, and Algol's pretty neat
Betelguese's pretty girls will knock you off your feet
They'll do anything you like them to, real fast or real slow
But if you have to take me apart to get me there, then I don't want to go

Singing take me apart, take me apart
What a way to roam
And if you have to take me apart to get me there
I'll stay right here at home

Sirius is paved with gold, or so it is said
By nuts who then go on to say 'See Tau before you're dead'
I'll gladly take the high road or even take the low
But if you have to take me apart to get me there, then I for one won't go

Singing take me apart, take me apart
You must be off your head
And if you have to take me apart to get me there
I'll stay right here in bed

I teleported home one night
With Ron and Syd and Meg
Ron stole Meggie's heart away
And I got Sydney's leg!

Magrathea's a sight to see, only from inside
Flying in the Heart of Gold is really quite a ride
And even though the Earth is gone, there's lots to see, you know
But if you have to take me apart to get me there, then I refuse to go

Singing take me apart, take me apart
There must be a better way
And if you have to take me apart to get me there
Then right here will I stay

i love adams douglas and i think this song is amazing , you are so cool! 'grats man , srsly :)

[ebenbrooks]

@sbirilluccicoso Thanks very much! :)

Teleportation can also cause nausea, constant disorientation and the feeling that you was pulled thru a black hole inside a white hole....

[ebenbrooks]

@worake Yeah, pretty much. ;-)

[LaOraculo]

I thought Aldebaran was... quite YELLOW, if you know what I mean. As for Betelgeuse, I'm not that sure the "girls" (if you can even call them that) would do anything you ask them to. Rather, I would bet they would do anything THEY wanted with you (or your bloated corpse, of course).

Great song, BTW.

[ebenbrooks]

@LaOraculo Thanks! :) Glad you like it.

[ebenbrooks]

@viking977 Thanks.

[viking977]

[ebenbrooks]

Good Show! I don't know how many times I have read the books (probably not enough). Adams would be proud.
