The Ballad of Dolly the Sheep and Laika the Dog

[Intro] In a sterile lab's cold clinical light, Two souls met on a fateful night. Dolly, born of science’s hand, And Laika, from a distant land. [Female Narrator] In fields of green, where you would play, Born from science, just to display. A new life starts, the first of a clone, It was Dolly the Sheep, from cell to bone. [Short Interlude] [Female Narrator] From Moscow's streets to a rocket's flight, A brave adventure into the endless night. Laika the dog in the stars alone, Her fate in space is forever unknown. [Short Interlude] [Dolly] "Oh, Laika my sweetheart, must you go? To the stars, where dreams don’t grow. Farewell, dear friend, your journey calls, Beyond the lab's cold, sterile walls." [Laika] "Yes, Dolly my dear, I have to go! My rocket starts when the sunrise glow. Though I leave you here, in this sterile place, Know our bond transcends, through time and space." [Dolly] "Oh Laika Sweety, time slips away, But in my heart, you'll always stay. The dawn has come, I say goodbye, I wish you all the best for your rocket flight." [Short Intro] [Laika] "In the vast expanse, where stars ignite, Oh Dolly your words, will be a guiding light. So with that in mind da svidania I say, that's goodbye the russian way. [Female Narrator] Soon after a team of scientists arrived, And as they departed, Dolly felt so deprived. Hours later, Laika's journey started full of glory, Her last glance on earth fell upon the laboratory. [Outro] Now Laika's in space and Dolly's alone, This is the story of the space pioneer and the very first clone. [Bridge] Laika's in space. Dolly's alone. The story of the space pioneer. And the very first clone. [Sad Ending] Laika's in space. Dolly's alone. The space pioneer ...and the very first clone. [Instrumental]
