Those magnificent Twin Ion Engine machines
They blow up-diddly-up-dup,
They're shot down-diddly-own-down!
They smash into each other, and die in each scene
They blow up-diddly-up-dup
They're shot down-diddly-own-down

Up        (ting!)
Down    (thump)
Flying around!
Out of the hangar, and into the ground!
All        (ting!)
the        (thump)
Pilots are green,
Those magnificent Twin Ion Engine machines!

They can spin all around with a blasted-off wing!
It must be the helmets- they can't see a thing.
Seinar Fleet Systems have made a mistake,
They made them as tough as a soggy cornflake!
 
(daaa dun daaa dun da da-da da da)

Those magnificent Twin Ion Engine machines
They blow up-diddly-up-dup
They're shot down-diddly-own-down
They smash into each other, and die in each scene
Those magnificent Twin-
Those magnificent Twin-
Those magnificent Twin Ion ENGINE MACHINES!!!!
