5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The cosmos at large 

It's so very big 

It's so far away 

The comets... the craters... the vapors 

The solar wind 

The residual echoes... the residual echoes 

The residual echoes from the giant explosion 

Where they said it beginned 

The germs from space! 

The negative-virus knit-wear 

The blobulent suit 

That's right! THE BLOBULENT SUIT 

It's made of rubbert, it's very ugly 

It's got an air hose... 

(The guy that has it all has a SPACE WRENCH!) 

Photos 

The things that were supposed to be green 

In the balck and white movies 

They get you in the neck when you're not looking 

They get you, the get you, they get you, get you, get you 

The radio is broken -- it don't work no more 

The radio is broken -- it don't work no more 

The lovely Lisa Kranston: 

(Her father invented the secred fuel (that's right!) 

For the rocket) 

So she gets to go with a clipboard! 

She writes it down when the meters go around 

And falls in love in a space warp 

Space warp 

Space warp 

The giant knobs 

The porthole where you see the earth for the first time 

The corrugated fiberglass interior walls 

The parially reclining G-force lawn furniture 

The brown hole 

The pointed brasseries 

The atomic war 

The tiny little dresses on the space girls 

A love-starved race begging to reproduce 

With earthmen 

They need to reproduce (with John Agar) 

They need to reproduce (with Morris Ankrum) 

They need to reproduce (with Richard Basehart) 

They need to reproduce (with Jackie Coogan) 

They need to reproduce (with Sonny Tufts) 

The botchino... the botchino... the botchino 

The gigantic spider 

The co-pilot always plays the harmonica 

The navigator always gets killed by a bad space person 

Uh-oh -- the radio is broken 

It don't work anymore 

The radio is broken 

It don't work anymore 

The radio is broken 

It don't work anymore 

We'll never get back to the Earth no more 

Uh-oh! 

We have to fall in love on Uranus! 

The radio is... 

That's right -- uh-oh 

The radio is broken 

The meteor storm 

You spilled your coke 

You're stepping on the popcorn 

JOHN AGAR! 

Uh-oh...
