Laika

Laika Oh, Laika The Dog Star My Dog Star They taped you to a metal kennel Shot you into space For the human race And the mess that we create The stuff of science fiction And you never knew how to read Laika Oh, Laika The Dog Star A trooper You never felt the air so hot Over your fur Tumbling to Earth The heat is getting worse A mission for the good of mankind But they didn't send a man Laika Oh, Laika The Dog Star My comrade And as you howled at the moon for the last time I hope the stars brought you peace You saw more than most men do in lifetimes I know it's not a relief As the stratosphere started to sting you You must have hated the world You sweet creature, I can't say I blame you When you were nothing but a good girl Laika None like her The Dog Star Curly Laika Oh, Laika I would have taken you home Let you play and roam Laika Laika Oh, Laika None like her Laika Laika Laika Laika Laika Laika
