We were drinking like the Irish, but we were drinking scotch   Bartender turns on a movie and everybody turned to watch   And every single eye was gleaming, when we reached the final scene   Well at least mine did, here's lookin' at you, kid      You know it's a mad mission under difficult conditions   Not everybody makes it to the loving cup   It's a mad mission but I got the ambition   Mad, mad mission, sign me up      I think I've seen the look before, yes it's kind of non-committal   It says come hither, baby, but then he's hard wood to whittle   It says it don't mean a thing, but still somebody does   He'd like you to join the club that likes to say   There's no such thing as love      It's a mad mission under difficult conditions   Not everybody makes it to the loving cup   It's a mad mission but I got the ambition   Mad, mad mission, sign me up      Sometimes you find yourself flying low at night   Flying blind and looking for any sign of light   You're cold and scared and all alone   You do anything just to make it home      It's a mad mission under difficult conditions   Not everybody makes it to the loving cup   It's a mad mission but I got the ambition   Mad, mad mission, sign me up, sign me up
