Texty: Tom Tom Club. Booming & Zooming.

If they could see me now, booming and zooming
If they could see me now, booming and zooming

F one O four, come in F one O four
C'mon get down F one O four, ho, get back up F one O four
Aw, now, one more time for me on the ground
F one O four get down

'Cause you know and I know it's a private thing
At twice the speed of sound blue goes to black
You're spinning flat like a skipping stone F one O four
But don't green apple okay we want no defenestrations today okay

F one O four where are you at? Play it Kenneth
Uh you think you're staying cool while it's getting hot, eh?
F one O four here, uh, stop flapping your gums
I wear my own clothes now
And I don't need you to roll up my sleeves, okay?

Uh ground here, uh, that's a couple of million, F one O four
F one O four here, uh, look this is a private thing
And I don't want you talking about it
Down there with your nice friends, 'cause this is a private thing, okay?

'Cause I've tried A and then I've tried B and then I've tried C
But no, I won't green apple
Uh, this is the ground F one O four and get outa there
Get outa there F one O four

F one O four uh, not to sweat baby
It's my hide and I can ride her out
This is the ground get down here F one O four

You and I know who your hide belongs to

Well F one O four here, uh, I guess I'm at about 75 thousand feet
And the R P M's are set near zero
Uh, maybe falling about 150 feet a second
Uh, that makes about 9000 feet a minute

Uh, like I said I've tried A and I've tried B and C, didn't do nothing
Just spinning around like a boomerang in the sky up here, I reckon
I got about one last shot, okay this is a private thing
This blue to black at twice the speed of sound

It's green silent peace with waves around
And it's lighting up like a damn Christmas tree in here
But we'll ignore what these little lights are saying
And enjoy the view because you know and I know
It's just that little old problem our boys in engineering find so entertaining

This is the ground, come in F one O four
Come in F one O four, come in F one O four
F one O four here, I'd love to talk to you sweetheart
But this Christmas tree is smoking and it's obscuring the view
I'm preparing to disintegrate now I'll see you boys
For a drink on the ground at about 1900 hours, okay bye

If they could see me now, booming and zooming
If they could see me now
If they could see me now, booming and zooming
Booming and zooming
