Run Little Saucers Run!

Intro - Sound of static and signal

Mm

Mm-hmm

Can you hear me out there

Verse 1

The sky split open Tuesday at noon

A fleet of silver saucers hummed a crooked tune

They came down chanting something grave

Sounded like a threat about our souls to save

But Gertie from the diner waved a spatula high

Shouted "Y'all want pie or do you come to cry?"

Pre-Chorus

The lead alien stepped out and blinked

His translator buzzed then it stuttered and clinked

He said "We have come to judge your kind"

And someone in the crowd yelled "That's mighty kind"

Chorus

Run little saucers run

Back to wherever you begun

We don't speak your glowing tongue

Run little saucers run

Post-Chorus

Run run run

Back home

Run run run

Verse 2

They tried to beam our cows up north

But the cattle just wandered back and forth

They scanned our brains for wisdom deep

Found fishing shows and coupon sheets

The captain raised a tentacle to complain

Gertie handed him a biscuit and a butter lane

Pre-Chorus

He sniffed it once then twice again

Said "What is this magic in this grain?"

His crew all wobbled knees and shook

And Martha asked "Do y'all need a cook?"

Chorus

Run little saucers run

Back to wherever you begun

We don't speak your glowing tongue

Run little saucers run

Post-Chorus

Run run run

Back home

Run run run

Bridge

They tried to sing our anthem wrong

We clapped along all night long

Their lasers fizzled out of spite

Could not resist a potluck fight

The general bowed his shimmering head

Said "Take us home we want our bread"

Chorus

Run little saucers run

Back to wherever you begun

We don't speak your glowing tongue

Run little saucers run

Post-Chorus

Run run run

Back home

Run run run

Outro - Sound of saucers whirring away

Mm

Mm-hmm

Gone by suppertime

By suppertime

By suppertime
