Satellite

Performed by Teresa Brewer
Recorded 1958
Written by Ted Pandel and Bruce Haack

I'm spinning around like a satellite
And I can see the sun for the stars
Everyday is as gay as a Saturday night
Or a ride on a rocket to Mars

My love takes the path of a satellite
In an orbit around your heart
Your attraction is something I never could fight
And it's starting to pull me apart

Refrain: I'm sailing above the clouds so high
Like a rocket on the 4th of July
The world looks as small as a polka dot
When compared to the love I've got

I'm spinning around like a satellite
But I'll slow myself down to explain
If you promise to kiss me once more I'll be glad
To get down to earth once again

Refrain

I'll always behave like a satellite
And the reason's not hard to explain
When I try to recover you kiss me and then
I start spinning all over, spinning all over, just spinning all over again
