See you in heaven if you make the list
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Now, Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Andy, are you goofing on Elvis?
Hey, baby, are we losing touch?

[Chorus]
If you believed they put a man on the moon (man on the moon)
If you believe there's nothing up his sleeve, then nothing is cool

Here's a little agit for the never-believer

Here's a little ghost for the offering
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Here's a truck stop instead of Saint Peter's
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Mister Andy Kaufman's gone wrestling
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Now, Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey, Andy, are you goofing on Elvis?
Hey, baby, are we losing touch?

[Chorus x4]
