This is a GREAT song. Fantastic lyrics and uptempo melody. Everyone can relate to this song, too. Trying to wring affection out of an aloof flirt who somehow intrigues and inspires us.
We were drinking like the Irish But we were drinking scotch Bartender turned on a movie Everybody turned to watch And every single eye was gleaming As he reached the final scene Well, at least mine did Here's lookin' at you, kid 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-commital 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 and 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'd 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

We were drinking like the Irish
But we were drinking scotch
Bartender turned on a movie
Everybody turned to watch
And every single eye was gleaming
As he reached the final scene
Well, at least mine did
Here's lookin' at you, kid
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-commital
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 and
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'd 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
