Well girl you're lookin' so good tonight.
And all the stars are out and shinin' bright.
And the moons got no place to hide.
It's the perfect night for a saucer ride.
I'll fly right bye to pick you up at eight.
Hop out your window and I'll be at your gate.
Sneak past your daddy and your mama too,
They don't know fun the way that I do
Well let me take you for a saucer ride.
Kick off your heels and hop inside.
Just you and me baby floating around,
You'll wish we never had to come back down.
Take it..
We're hoverin' over Farmer John's old barn.
We'll be playin' our favorite song.
Well come on baby, don't say maybe,
Let me show you what a ball it can be.
While all the others are stuck on the ground,
We'll be zippin' past the buildings downtown.
You know the dance can't be such a bore,
But we're rockin' in a boppin'
and we'll fly over the shore.
A Wella' let me take you for a saucer ride.
Kick off your heels and hop inside.
Just you and me baby floating around,
You'll wish we never had to come back down.
Well I've been looking for a girl like you.
Your skirt is tight and you look so blue.
And I hope I will see you tonight,
So we can go for a little ride.
Let's go!

Ghost Stalkin' Baby
01:57
|
|||
|
I gotta baby that a-won't let me be.
I gott a baby that I wish you could see.
Believe me I'm not trying to boast,
You can't see her cause she's a ga-ga-ghost.
And she's my ghost-stalkin' baby.
Yeah she's my ghost talkin' crazy.
Well she's my ghost-stalkin' baby
And she thinks that I'm her man.
When I'm at home, I can't get no rest.
And in school, well I'm failin' my tests.
Cause when she's not chasing me down the halls,
She's knockin' over tables and she's walkin' through my walls.
Cause she's my ghost-stalkin' baby.
Yeah she's my ghost talkin' crazy.
Well she's my ghost-stalkin' baby
And she's drivin' me insane.
Let's rock it.
The girls I love, she just has to hate.
She never lets me go out on a date.
I try to take them out, under the stars,
But she's a-cursing and a-screamin' and she chases em' out of the car.
Cause she's my ghost-stalkin' baby.
Yeah she's the most walkin' baby.
Well she's my ghost-stalkin' baby
And she thinks that I'm her man.
Cause she's my ghost-stalkin' baby.
Yeah she's the most stalkin' baby.
Well she's my ghost-stalkin' baby
And I think I'm fallin' for her.

Space, Baby
03:54
|
|||
|
It seems so long since I have seen you my dear.
The world looks like your pale, blue eyes from above.
They say that space is no place for a man.
I'm alone and cold, and I know I won't see you again.
Sometimes I dream of you and I, floating around.
Sometimes I dream of you and I, safe on the ground.
We hold each other close, in the warm summer night,
Underneath the Milky-Way, it's shinin' so bright.
Then I see the sparkle in your eye, a-waking me
And taking me back to the sky.
The stars we watched together now tear us apart.
Still I hold a special place for you in my heart.
When thirty years to you is only three to me,
Your face is still the only one haunting my dreams.
Well if you're alone or if your afraid,
If you're scared or your little heart breaks,
Look to the stars, when you need me.
Look to the stars cause that's where I'll be.

Well you'd get my Franken-Baby and we're gunna stick together for forever, for forever.
Well Jackie's got the lashes,
and Judy's got the lips.
Susie's got the smile,
but she ain't got Sheena's hips.
If you take the pieces and you put them all together,
Yeah If you take the pieces and you put them all together,
Well you'd get my Franken-Baby and we're gunna stick together for forever, for forever
Well there's Donna and there's Rhonda,

Tonight, On Earth
03:18
|
|||
|
I walk along the streets tonight.
It's just me and the moonlight.
I pass the park and empty shops,
Through the vacant drive-in lot.
I'm shining like the stars and
glowing brighter than the moon,
on my way, to see you.
Well our world seems so small,
From the stars, above it all.
But not tonight, here on the ground,
As i cross the tracks to your side of town.
It's not different like they say,
Well the cars and yards are wider
But the moon shines the same.
Well my heart skips a beat,
As I walk down your street.
The homes are dark, in perfect rows,
Look out your window, I'm at your door.
There's no place I'd rather be
or thing I'd rather do
Than spend tonight,
on Earth with you.

Planet of the Babes
02:23
|
|||
|
We crash-landed on a desert island shore.
We were stranded 30 years from home.
From the palm trees to the sand,
this felt like our home planet,
'Till we realized that we weren't alone.
We're on the Planet of the Babes, just tryin' to escape,
But all our fuses have been blown.
We're runnin' for our lives, in a tropic paradise,
And we're never gunna get back home.
Week two, we ran out of food.
And went hunting by the Blue Lagoon.
But the hunt was interrupted,
and we became the hunted,
By a babe with a spear of bamboo.
We told her that we werent bad guys,
And convinced her to spare our lives.
She said her name was Eve,
And that men had gone "extinct",
Until the day that we fell out of the sky.
We're on the Planet of the Babes, just tryin' to escape,
But all our fuses have been blown.
We've been runnin' for our lives, but this place is paradise,
And we're never wanna go back home.
Transmit message not to send out a search,
And tell them that we died of thirst.
'Cause on the Planet of the Babes is where we're gunna stay,
Even if our fuses had not been blown.
We're livin' the dream life with these babes in paradise,
And we're never gunna go back home.
Transmit message not to send out a search,
And that we named our new planet "Earth"!

Greetings from Tahiti and the Polynesian shores,
Where we were sippin' Mai-Tai's and a-soakin' up the sun,
When a hula-dancin' baby handed me a drink and whispered,
"A-huka-haka-loogie, it's a Tahiti-Twister."
I tipped it back and took sip, my head began to spin,
and that's when my vacation got turned into an invasion.
Flying saucers zippin' in from outer-space,
Tahiti-Twister's gunna make you insane!
Beach chairs, bikinis and laser-beams,
Tahiti-Twister's gunna make you see things!
Look Out!
I grabbed my Mai-Tai and I hit the deck,
Then I split for my cabana, but they vaporized that.
Now I'm hidin' under palm trees, tryin' not to spill my drink,
while they're abductin' everybody up and down the beach.
from Aruba to Jamaica, ooh they're gunna take ya',
Back to their home planet where they'll make ya' into stew!
Flying saucers zippin' in from outer-space,
Tahiti-Twister's gunna make you insane!
Beach balls, bikinis and laser-beams,
Tahiti-Twister's gunna make you see things!
Blue Hawaiians, margaritas and daiquiris,
Tahiti-Twister ain't like other drinks!
Just one sip will ruin your trip,
Tahiti-Twister's gunna make you flip!
Oh-no!

Moonglow Girl
04:39
|

At night when I dream, she's all I see.
She stands in the strand where the land and sea meet.
She waits for me on the distant shore,
awaken from beneath the barnacle and coral.
Well she calls to me in the middle of dreams,
With her crushing swell, on a moon-lit beach.
I'm caught in the riptide of her raging sea.
I'm drowning in her love, and I don't want to breath.
She can't be found with a compass or guide,
resting in her depths are those who have tried.
A lonely tear drop streaks down her cheek,
for the storm of her eye has sprung a leak.
Her soft skin glows in the pale moonlight,
Her lips could sink ships that pass in the night.
Her hearts in a chest buried under her seas,
I'd cross them all just to hold the key.
Well she calls to me in the middle of dreams,
With her crushing swell, on a moon-lit beach.
I'm caught in the riptide of her raging sea.
I'm drowning in her love, and I don't want to breath.
She anchors me here, to her deep-blue abyss,
She's the wind in my sails and the salt on my lips.
I reach for her hand as she starts to fade,
But like footsteps in sand, she washes away..

King Tiki Idol
02:36
|

|
From Hawaii to Kawaii to the Waimea Bay,
There's a legend of an Idol and the acncient natives say
That there once was guitar-playin', singing-tiki-king,
and people came from near and to see the tiki sing.
Uh-Huh!
The King Tiki Idol was a hula star,
From the Tonga Hut to the Tiki Bar.
He could sing like a dream and play guitar,
To all his fans he was a tiki-god.
Well the girls would kick and scream when the heard the Tiki sing,
And toss their coconut tops at the singing tiki dream.
But as the crowds got bigger and the shows began to grow,
The King Tiki Idol couldn't help but feel alone.
Oh-No!
The King Tiki Idol was a hula star,
From the Tonga Hut to the Tiki Bar.
He could sing like a dream and play guitar,
To all his fans he was a tiki-god.
Well on the night of his big show on top of the Great Volcano,
He began to croon a tune and the crowd began to swoon.
Then he strummed a tiki chord and the crowd began to roar.
They reached for him and he fell in and the Tiki was no more.
Oh!
The King Tiki Idol was a hula star,
From the Tonga Hut to the Tiki Bar.
He could sing like a dream and play guitar,
To all his fans he was a tiki-god.
But the King Tiki Idol took things too far,
From the hula girls to the Tiki Bar.
And now that the Idol is long gone,
To all his fans his legend still lives on!

And He Ran On Up The Tower.
He Begged Them For Forgiveness,
They Told Him To Get Down,
They Hooked Him and The Caught Him,
And They Dragged Him Out Of Town!
