The Martian Boogie by Brownsville Station for Song Saturday

The other night I was walking down the street

I was getting kinda hungry

I decided to get me something to eat

Now I passed up all the chain franchise joints on Hamburger row

And stopped at a little greasy spoon place I always eat at called, Eat, Sit and Gulp

Get you one of those greasy hamburgers all peppered up, lay you up in the hospital for about ten days

So I ordered me up a couple of those grease bombs

Waitress bought 'em over, lifted up the bun, checked 'em out

Damn, no ketchup

So, I nudged the guy sitting next to me at the counter

I said, hey partner, How about passing the ketchup over

Suddenly, this little bitty green handing holding a ketchup bottle came into view

And I freaked,  'cause the guy sitting next to me was a Martian

Now in twenty eight years of eating hamburgers

I ain't never run into no Martian

Not at 2:30 in the morning and certainly not at a fine scarfing establishment like Eat. 

Well, he was sitting over there with a 

Bunch of colored sticks on his plate

And I looked over at him and I said

What you eating there boy, crayons

He said, why no

They're Martian cigarettes

Here, try one

Well, 'bout half hour later he looked over at me and smiled

Them Martians ain't got but two teeth in their head

And he said, how do you feel

And I said, well, I feel so good

Yeah, I do, gonna boogie

Meanwhile, back at Eat's

I was still thinking, I said

How come out of all t he places 

You could of landed

You wound up here

He said, well according to my lunar map

This town here is supposed to be 

The boogie capital of the U.S.A.

So I asked him, I said

Now, where else you been, boy

And he told me

He said, I've rocked 'em over

And I've rocked 'em down

Rocked 'em in the country

I've rocked 'em in town

Rock and roll been so good to me

Up walked a lady and she asked me my name

Told her my name was on the tail of my shirt

Told her, rocking chair Martian

Don't have to work

Yeah, I feel so good

Yeah, yeah, gonna boogie

Martian boogie
