There we stood on a dark and isolated planetoid
Shivering like a San Andreas windowpane,
Suddenly looking up and seeing for the first time
The high suspended moon.

Vain attempts with rocks to dislodge the thing
Failed like spring-loaded boots and cowboy lassooing.
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,
'Cause Julie, we'll do anything you say.

We perused our ramshackle rocketship.(da da da da)
We observed its myriad requirements.
We saw it needed a stronger hull and electrical boost
And a year's worth of supplies.

Well the news stretched out like an octopus (da da da da)
And in time attracted a following,
A following made of freaks and 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,
'Cause Julie, we'll do anything you say.

Moms! Dads! People that we've never seen,
People that we have and ones we never hang around:
With no battalion every general stands alone.

Be strong - honest - try and keep your nose clean
Julie's coming back with gasoline, yeah!

Yeah! And Julie said "Futz."

"Futz around until my return."
