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
