Lyrics[]
Hey, hey on your marks, get set, go to zero Present and correct, go to zero North, South, East and West go to zero Nothing is the best, go to zero I do this and I do that, and when it's cold, I wear a hat; It's mostly cold It pays to advertise they say, I'll keep my hat on anyway; Or so I'm told When you're on patrol, go to zero By remote control, go to zero Forward, pause, return, go to zero All roads lead astern, go to zero (Chorus) When you miss your cue, go to zero Start the dance anew, go to zero Black, red, white and blue go to zero - When you lose the one, go to zero Rewind can be fun, go to zero Nudge it left and right, go to zero Don't wait 'til tonight, go to zero Go to Zero! (Chorus) (Go to Zero!) Everywhere you go, go to zero Nought is apropos (Lost is at the pole?), go to zero North, South, East and West, go to zero Nothing is the best, go to zero
