Lyrics

[Intro]

Right

Once upon a time

In a basement

On the edge of Stockholm

[Instrumental]

There was a little punk

Who borrowed a keyboard from another punk

And he came up with a, with a riff

That sort of changed a lot of things

And the rest, as they say

Is a mystery

[Instrumental]

We're leaving together

But still it's farewell

Maybe we'll come back

To Earth, who can tell?

I guess there is no one to blame

We're leaving ground

Will things ever be the same again?

[Chorus]

It's the final countdown

The final countdown

[Instrumental]

We're heading for Venus

Still we stand tall

'Cause maybe they've seen us

And welcome us all

With so many lightyears to go

And things to be found

I'm sure that we all miss her so

[Chorus]

It's the final countdown

The final countdown

It's the final countdown

[Instrumental]

It's the final countdown

It's the final countdown

The final countdown

It's the final countdown

It's the final countdown

We're leaving together

The final countdown

We will all miss her so

It's the final countdown

It's the final countdown

[Outro]

Thank you
