Lyrics: 


Just like a rollin' stone, 
I'm outside lookin' in 
But if your chance came would you take it? 
Where on earth do I begin? 

" I'm Mandy fly me... " 

I've often heard her jingle 
It's never struck a chord 
With a smile as bright as sunshine 
She called me through the poster 
And welcomed me aboard 

She led me she fed me 
She read me like a book 
But I'm hiding in the small print 
Won't you take another look? 
And take me away 
Try me Mandy, fly me away... 

The world was spinning like a ball 
And then it wasn't there at all 
And as my heart began to fall 

I saw her walking on the water 
As the sharks were comin' for me 
I felt Mandy pull me up, give me the kiss of life 
Just like the girl in Dr. No No No No... 

Ah when they pulled me from the wreckage 
And her body couldn't be found 
Was it in my mind it seems 
I had a crazy dream 
I told them so but they said no no no no... 

I found me on a street 
And starin' at a wall 
If it hadn't have been for Mandy 
Her promise up above me 
Well I wouldn't be here at all 
So if you're travellin' in the sky 
Don't be surprised if someone said " Hi... " 

" I'm Mandy fly me... "
