Mr. Alien

I'm gonna tell you a story
That I can't forget
It was a victory for me
In this space age
The other day I shivered
When I opened the door and saw
A huge UFO
Landed in my backyard
I quickly knocked on the door
A weird figure came
I said: If you don't mind
Could you please leave
I have clothes drying
And they'll get dirty
If that thing stays there
Emitting smoke

And the Mr. Alien
Was a bit confused
He tried to speak but said: Beep
He was poorly tuned
He pressed a little button
And could then tell me
That he had been fined
For driving without a license

Excuse me, sir
I don't want to be rude
But where you are
Doesn't help me at all
The worst is the neighbor
Who seems to guess
When she sees that I'm alone
With a stranger in my house
But since you're standing there
Come have a coffee
I feel sorry, 'cause you
Don't even look mean
And I also wanted to know
If in the land you come from
You don't know anyone
Who can get me some codfish

And the Mr. Alien
Was a bit confused
He tried to speak but said: Beep
He was poorly tuned
He pressed a little button
Told me to be careful
Because in the land he came from
There's not even a smell of sardines
Let alone codfish

Tell me some news now
Are you married? Do you miss someone?
Do you have children? How old are they?
Just one? Who does he take after?
You must have pictures, surely
Show me, oh what richness!
Isn't he a beauty?
So chubby, takes after his dad
Are you ready to go?
Back to the plane?
Wait, there are
Some sandwiches for the trip
And also grab that
Flannel shirt
So when you open the window
You don't catch a cold

And the Mr. Alien
Was a bit confused
He tried to speak but said: Beep
He was poorly tuned
He pressed a little button
And then he told me
That he wants me to visit him
That he finds it funny when I talk
Or at least to write

And the Mr. Alien
Was a bit confused
He tried to speak but said: Beep
He was poorly tuned
He pressed a little button
Just to say: God bless you
I gave him a glass of wine
And off he went
In a slightly zigzag path
