Chords: Verse: F Bbm Bridge: Am-sus Dm Gm; Am Dm C

Lyrics:
Weve got the greatest job on earth
and were not even on earth
were orbiting the world, you see
collecting space debris
expended rockets, expired satellites
circling the globe, endangering space flight.
were the guys cleaning up the mess
putting astronauts familys fears to rest.

you wouldnt believe the premium on my life insurance policy
even a paint chip would take off my arm travelling at orbital velocity

Collectin space junk, space waste, space stuff
We make it safe for shuttles to fly
Were trash men, weightless trash men!
Cleaning up the crap you left behind

verse2
We got hit by Soviet trash last year
from the cosmonauts on MIR
- but our worst memory was when we
were sprayed by frozen pee
Heres some old bag of toiletries
whats in it? sunscreen and hydrocortisone cream
and the ashes of gene roddenberry
Ah! Tom Hanks script from Apollo 13!

you wouldnt believe the premium on my life insurance policy
even a toenail would cut off my head travelling at orbital velocity

Collectin space junk, space waste, space stuff
Living the cosmic custodian life.
Were trash men, weightless trash men!
scouring space...while trying not to die!

I actually went to Space Camp and they showed this video. Our group then proceeded to sing this song practically 24/7 through Space Camp in Hunstville, Alabama. It was the best time of my life.

[micahphilson]

Wow, this is 9 years old now?! Holy cow, it does *not* feel that old!

Man, I miss the days when they made songs like this all the time!

[millie]

Probably their most underrated song! I absolutely love it! It has a great hook, and melody and as always wonderful lyrics. Mythical Beast

[kyleross]

We were learning about space debris at school and I was humming this all during class.

[tomcole]

Anyone else notice the hand giving rhett the keyboard?

[sliceofpistudios]

This needs to be a show, a show about astronaut Janitors, cleaning SPACE STUFF SPACE JUNK

[androgynous_artist]

Rhett looks so young!..Link hasn't really changed 😁

[fleek]

they need to wear those vests in case a car can't see them

[tippib]

I crack up every time someone hands Rhett the keyboard. Honestly this song is so great and I still listen to it at least once or twice a week.

[otakugamer]

"cleanin' up the crap you left behiiind."          I've always loved thet line:D

[morganeyre]

I've actually heard that some schools use this video for educational purposes, and show it to their students. I showed my teacher the OCD video { even though it's not educational } and he loves it. He brings it up now and then.

[charlieissocoollike]

Great video guys! Also, awesome seeing you partner with Billy Reid. Gotta love a bit of Billy.

[caydencejohnson]

0:40 is hilarious you can see the green screen through links hair. And Rhett looks so different with out a big beard.

[YbBaG]

just wanted to let you know that my whole science class knows every single word (and the dance) to this song. My teacher found this and showed it to us because we were learning about space junk. So thanks for making an 8th grade science class a little less boring :)

[nalts]

You make me wish I could sing. Or had talent or something.

[beatle-]

Song popped into my head today, had to come over and give it a listen! Cant believe it's been 11 years since it came out 😱 I would've been 7!!

[MrAdrianMonk]

I miss videos like this. Their new stuff is still good but a different style. This was just the best.

[Ash-vber]

This. This is what. I love about Rhett and link.

[lafoutloud]

This is one of my favorite videos ever! It makes me super happy.

[calebp.]

It’s amazing that they went into space to make this video
