The Theme Song of Fireball XL5, Which Peaked At Number 32 and Spent 12 Weeks In The Top 100, Sung By Don Spencer, Who Later Became The Father-In-Law Of Russel Crowe

Click to see the video. Here are all four verses:

I wish I was a spaceman,
the fastest guy alive
I'd fly you ‘round the universe.
In fireball xl5.
Way out in space together.
Conquerors of the sky.
My heart would be a fireball.
A fireball.
Every time I gaze into your starry eyes.

We’d take a path to Jupiter and maybe very soon.
We’d cruise along the Milky Way and land upon the Moon.
To a wonderland of stardust.
We’ll zoom our way to mars.
My heart would be a fireball.
A fireball.
And you would be my Venus of the stars.

We'd make our way to Mercury
And travel wide and far.
We'd take a trip to Paradise
And wish upon a star.
We'd steer a course for Heaven,
Love would be our guide.
My heart would be a Fireball,
A fireball
Cause you would be the angel by my side.

But though I’m not a spaceman
Famous and renowned
I’m just a guy that’s down to earth
With both feet on the ground
It’s all imagination
I’ll never reach the stars
My heart is still a fireball
A fireball
Every time I gaze into your starry eyes

The TV theme consisted of verses 1 and 2. The extended version on the record consisted of verses 1, 2 and 4. (Verse 3 only ever existed on paper, and was never recorded).

Something to think about: There's only 15 years between this (1962) and Star Wars (1977).
