Futz Said Julie

There we stood on our dark & isolated planetoid
Shivering like a San Andreas windowpane
Suddenly looking up & seeing for the first time
the high, suspended moon
Vain attempts with rocks to dislodge the thing
Failed like spring-loaded boots
& cowboy lassoing
Suddenly we heard Julie for the very first time,
and her voice was warm as June
She said, "What you need is a rocket
But a rocket's not an easy thing to make"
"We got one," we said, "It's too low on gas
To get three feet above the grass"

And Julie said "Futz", "Futz" said Julie
"Futz around until my return"
The definition of "futz" was something
we had yet to learn
But we tried to do it anyway, anyway
'Cuz Julie, we'll do anything you say
We perused our ramshackle rocketship
(dadadadadadada)

We observed its myriad requirements
(we saw it needed)
A stronger hull, an electrical boost,
and a year's worth of supplies
Well the news stretched out like an octopus
(dadadadadadada)

And in time attracted a following
(a following made of)
Freaks & geeks of the very best kind
to enable us to fly
What we had was a rocket when we finished
But a rocket's incomplete
With empty tanks, it's too low on gas
To get three feet above the grass

And Julie said "Futz", "Futz" said Julie
"Futz around until my return"
The definition of "futz" was something
we had yet to learn
But we tried to do it anyway, anyway
'Cuz Julie, we'll do anything you say

Moms, dads, people that we never see
People that we otherwise would
never hand around with
No battalion, every general stands alone
Moms, dads, people that we never see
People that we otherwise would
never hand around with
No battalion, every general stands alone
Be strong, honest, try to keep your nose clean
Julie's coming back with gasoline
yeah!

And Julie said "Futz", "Futz" said Julie
"Futz around until my return"
The definition of "futz" was something
we had yet to learn
But we tried to do it anyway, anyway
'Cuz Julie, we'll do anything you say
