We didn't know that it would blow up
With such might
The stars are even brighter
Contrasted by the night

Sent out the shock waves
Filled up the outer space
Even the ghost came
To the late, late, late show
Watch us play

Ooh, everything went tossing
Everyone was talking
Making up their faces
Wonder what we look like naked?

Ah, the irresistible force 
Met the immovable object, oh
Ah, the irresistible force 
Met the immovable object

Banging and banging
And banging and banging
And banging together

We've become a big business
Oh, a galaxy merger
The two of us a big bang
Yeah, God is a real man
God is a dad, God is a dad 

Ah, the irresistible force 
Met the immovable object, oh
Ah, the irresistible force 
Met the immovable object

Banging and banging
And banging and banging
And banging together

Ah, the irresistible force 
Met the immovable object, oh
Some may call me a lucky shot
No, no, no, but it was not

Banging and banging
And banging and banging
And banging
Banging and banging
And banging and banging
And banging together
