Sputniks and Mutniks

Performed by Ray Anderson and Homefolks
Recorded 1958
Written by Ray Anderson

Sputniks and mutniks flying through the air
Sputniks and mutniks flying everywhere
They're so ironic
Are they atomic?
Those funny missiles have got me scared

The strangest looking objects I ever saw from space
With a dog inside that got to ride into the USA
To see our hound dog or American groundhog
That Russian canine can't stand the pain

Sputniks and mutniks flying through the air
Sputniks and mutniks flying everywhere
They're so ironic
Are they atomic?
Those funny missiles have got me scared

Our scientists have admitted that we're five years behind
And if that's true I'm telling you, this hiding place is mine
Don't care if it's roomy, just so it's roomy
And so it's somewhere Sputnik can't find

Sputniks and mutniks flying through the air
Sputniks and mutniks flying everywhere
They're so ironic
Are they atomic?
Those funny missiles have got me scared
