My Little Corner of Red Dwarf

It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere,
I'm all alone, more or less,
Let me fly, far away from here,
Fun Fun Fun, in the Sun Sun Sun.

I want to lie ship wrecked and comatose,
drinking fresh mango juice,
goldfish sholes nipple at my toes,
Fun Fun Fun, in the Sun Sun Sun.
Fun Fun Fun, in the Sun Sun Sun.

I've packed my bags, and head into hyperspace,
Velocity at time warp speed,
Spend my days in ultra violet rays,
Fun Fun Fun, in the Sun Sun Sun.

We're locked on course, straight through the universe,
You and me and the galaxy,
Reach the stage, hyperdrive engaged,
Fun Fun Fun, in the Sun Sun Sun.

Though series eight ends badly for Red Dwarf, there are rumors of a film with the original cast.
