You're everythings I wants; you're everythings I needs,

even though the frogs are happy, our pond is full of weeds.

I feel your surge of power when you take me by the hand,

we both are like a bus on which the children do not stand.

 

My love is so alive now I have you here.

Chucka-lucka-lucka-li, chucka-lucka-li.

It was cold and dark, now it's all so nuclear.

Chucka-lucka-lucka-li, chucka-lucka-lucka-li.

Oh...

 

Your love is like yellowcake.

All the energy that you and I will make.

Baby let our love be big and global, not disaster like Chernobyl.

I'll be yours and you'll be mine, like uranium refine.

Come on baby be my yellowcake tonight.

 

Folk music interlude: "Hot Cross Buns" on recorder.

 

Oh...

 

Your love is like yellowcake.

All the energy that you and I will make.

Baby let our love be big and global, not disaster like Chernobyl.

I'll be yours and you'll be mine, like uranium refine.

Only your love makes me whole, energise me like clean coal.

Come on baby be my yellowcake tonight.
