Bagpipes On Mars Lyrics

Bagpipes On Mars lyrics

I read about a man who'd been



Around the world and back again



Built a space ship in his back yard



And went to mars one afternoon







When he got home late that night



He said the people, they were kind



Bought him drinks and entertained him



And that's where he'd been all this time







But do they play the bagpipes on mars?



Do they have a shrine to Elvis?



Easy payments on their cars?



And what do they know about us?



Do they fly in flying saucers?



Do they have to take the bus?







Well, I got pretty curious and I built a space craft of my own



Blew a gasket and lost my oil a half a million miles from home



Fortunately, a family of martians came a drivin' by



Picked me up, and their daughter liked me



Now we're married and the kids look fine







But do they play the bagpipes on mars?



Do they have a shrine to Elvis?



Easy payments on their cars?



And what do they know about you and me?



Do they recycle plastic



And steal cable TV?







Now I got pretty homesick



So I started up a little band



We got famous - three gold records!



Bought the Partridge family's van!



Got bombed out on uranus



? on Venus



Things got hot on Mercury



That's where I burned my piano







And now they're playing bagpipes on mars



They've got a ? shrine to Elvis



Photo radar on their cars



They've learned everything from you and me



They're hanging out at singles bars



And watching MTV



... (yes they are)
