Lyrics

Oh heli, oh heli
I'm crouching here with a telescope in hand
Looking out across our Lego land
I really think it's about time that she came down
She a laughing giggly whirlybird
She got to be obscene to be obheard
I really think its about time that she came down
And I object to all the air male that she pick up
The air male that she pick up
The air male that she pick up
Oh-oh-oh
When she's up there twirling round
Just like a helicopter, copter
She's landing on the town
It's about time that I stopped her, stopped her
When she's up there twirling round, round, round
Just like a helicopter, copter
Oh heli, oh heli
Now she's away from convent she's gone wild
Grown from a nice young lady to a child
I really think its about time that she came down
She's a laughing giggly whirlybird
She got to be obscene to be obheard
I really think it's about time that she came down
And I object to all the air male that she pick up
The air male that she pick up
The air male that she pick up
Oh-oh-oh
When she's up there twirling round
Just like a helicopter, copter
She's landing on the town
It's about time that I stopped her, stopped her
When she's up there twirling round, round, round
Just like a helicopter, copter
Oh heli, oh heli
Oh heli, oh heli
When she's up there twirling round
Just like a helicopter, copter
She's landing on the town
It's about time that I stopped her, stopped her
When she's up there twirling round, round, round
Just like a helicopter, copter
Oh heli, oh heli, oh heli
When she's up there twirling round
Like a helicopter, copter
She's landing on the town, look out, town
It's about time that I stopped her, stopped her
When she's up there twirling round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round
Ruh-ruh-ruh-ruh-ruh-ruh
Oh heli, oh heli
