The Martian Boogie Lyrics - Singles - Brownsville Station

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 the 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 brought '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 hand 

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 the places 

You could have landed 

You wound up here 

He said, well, according 

To my lunar space 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 ten of my shirt 

Told her, rocking chair Martian 

Don't have to work 

Yeah, I feel so good 

Yeah, yeah, gonna boogie 

Martian boogie
