The Astrophotograpers Song

[Moon (James)]

Comments, improvements, extra verses and youtube performances welcome.

(To the tune of R. Kelly - I Believe I Can Fly)

I used to think that I could not go on
I used to think that I could not progress

And life was nothing but an awful song
APOD was only for the best

But now I know the meaning of true love
But now I know the meaning of true hope

I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
I learning on a very expensive slope

Chorus
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I can goto it, then I can track it

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
If I bahtinov it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can guide

I believe I can touch the sky
I believe I can photograph the sky

I think about it every night and day
Think about flexure night and day

Spread my wings and fly away
Start PHD and guide away

I believe I can soar
EQMOD has no flaw

I see me running through that open door
FMWH is big no more

I believe I can fly
I believe I can guide

I believe I can fly
I believe I can guide

I believe I can fly
I believe I can guide

See I was on the verge of breaking down
See I was on the verge of spending more

Sometimes silence, it can seem so loud
With coma, trails and egg shaped stars galore

There are miracles in life I must achieve
With OAG and CCD deep freeze

But first I know it starts inside of me
Polar align and watch that dew and breeze


Chorus

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

We need a score to go with it. Can't play accompanyment without some music.

[renormalised (Carl)]

Here's one sung to the tune of "Beverley Hillbillies"...

Let me tell ya 'bout a story of a man named Ted
Bought a 10" scope then he never went to bed
Then one day while he's looking at the stars
When out of a ship jumped a creature straight from Mars

"Green, that is...six legs...antenee "

Well, Ted gasps aloud, throws his hands up in the air
Yells at the creature "What tha hell you doin here"...
Said..."Don't ya know the army's coming, to grab a you and me"
"Then we'll get carted off to the base of mystery"
Area 51 that is...spooks and ghouls, bugs in jars.
