LYRICS GAME

I'll tell you a story

That won't leave my memory

It was a victory for me in this space age

The other day I shuddered when I opened the door and saw

A huge UFO parked in my yard

I went straight to knock on the door, out came a crooked figure

I said: If you don't mind could you go away

I've got these clothes drying and they'll get dirty

If that thing stays there spewing smoke

And the extraterrestrial gentleman got a bit flustered

He wanted to speak but went beep, he was badly tuned

He fiddled with the little button and could tell me then

That he had been fined

For getting caught without a driver's license

Sorry, sir, I don't wanna seem mean

'Cause you being here neither helps me nor holds me back

The worst is the neighbor who seems to guess

When she sees I'm alone with a stranger in my house

But since you're standing there come have a coffee

I feel sorry, 'cause you don't even look mean

And I'd also like to know if in the land you come from

You don't know someone there who can get me cod

And the extraterrestrial gentleman got a bit flustered

He wanted to speak but went beep, he was badly tuned

He fiddled with the little button, told me to watch out

Because in the land he came from there's no smell of sardine

Much less of cod

Now tell me the news: Are you married? Miss home?

Got kids yet? What ages? Just one? Who does he take after?

You've got photos, for sure

Show me, oh how lovely!

Isn't it truly a beauty?

So green, takes after his dad

Keys in hand already? Heading back to the plane?

Wait, there are some sandwiches there for the trip

And put on that little flannel shirt too

So when you open the window you won't catch a chill from the breeze

And the extraterrestrial gentleman got a bit flustered

He wanted to speak but went beep, he was badly tuned

He fiddled with the little button and could tell me then

That he wants me to visit him, he laughs when I talk

If only to write

And the extraterrestrial gentleman got a bit flustered

He wanted to speak but went beep, he was badly tuned

He fiddled with the little button

Just to say: God bless you

I poured him a glass of wine and off he went on his way

Which was a bit zigzagging
