"Remember the fifties, those fat complacent days
 When the future seemed a century away?
 Then up went Sputnik, gave the world a butt-kick,
 And made it clear tomorrow starts today.
 
 Beep beep, boop boop,
 hello there! (Gazhupa!)
 Sputnik sails giggling through the sky.
 (hey! hey! hey!)
 Red flags, red faces, jump in the race as
 The space age begins with a surprise.
 (surprise!)"

-- first verse and chorus, of "Surprise", by Leslie Fish
