5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

But I have been monitoring 

Your Earthly broadcasts for 

Many years... 

Many years... 

And the reception on my little planet 

Is extremely fine! 

Time is money... 

But Space is a long, long time! 

On my lonely throne 

In the cosmic night I ponder the vast expanses 

Between your puny world and mine! 

From my Couch-In-The-Sky, 

As my planet goes by, 

I behold all your misery below there! 

I have seen all your lying, 

And crying, and dying, 

And, believe me, 

YOUR planet is NOWHERE!

SPACE is a VERY LONG TIME! 

(And if the equation, 

As set forth above, 

Is PROVED when we get to 

The BOTTOM LINE... 

The 'Powers Financial' 

I'll hold o'er your world 

Will complete my fantastic design!) 

And the whole 'EQUIVALENT EARTH' SHALL BE MINE! 

And the whole 'EQUIVALENT EARTH' SHALL BE MINE! 

And the whole 'EQUIVALENT EARTH' SHALL BE MINE! 

MINE! MINE!
