Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
I then realized it was still dark outside
Saucer-shaped lights comin’ down from the sky
I don’t know who or why
CHORUS
Hey Mr. Spaceman won’t you please take me along
I won’t do anything wrong
Hey Mr. Spaceman won’t you please take me along for a ride.
Must be those strangers that come in the night
Their saucer-shaped lights put people uptight
Leave blue-green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home all right.
CHORUS
Woke up this morning I was feeling quite weird
There were flies in my beard and my toothpaste was smeared
Over the window they’d written my name
They said “So long we’ll see you again!”
CHORUS
