This is the story of Sputnik & Laika
He says he's sorry but he won't ever like her
This is the story of Sputnik & Laika
Straight into Space that's where he's going to take her
It's 1957 and the war is getting cold
Seems the biggest disasters are about to unfold
Now a dog and a satellite
Are chosen to lead to fight
Now on their way towards the sun
Their romance had only just began
He looked at her, she looked at him
They knew there'd always be something in between
Sent on a lethal mission
To fall in love with no ambition
This is the story of Sputnik & Laika
He says he's sorry but he won't ever like her
The way she likes him which is a tad bit over the top
But nothing in the world could make her stop
Animals, animals, animals and machines
Won't ever work
Now oxygen is running out
She's going to die, there's no doubt
He knows there's nothing that he could do
To save his love which is his crew
