Sr. Extraterrestre

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 went straight to the door
A weird figure came out
I said: If you don't mind
Could you leave?
I have clothes drying
And they'll get dirty
If that thing stays there
Spewing smoke out

And the extraterrestrial sir
Seemed a bit confused
He tried to speak but said beep
He was poorly tuned
He messed with a little button
And then he could tell me
That he had been fined
For being caught
Without a driver's license

Excuse me, sir
I don't want any trouble
Because you, where you are
Won't help me or hinder me
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, because you
Don't look like a bad guy
And I also wanted to know
If in the land where you come from
You don't know anyone
Who can get me some codfish

And the extraterrestrial sir
Seemed a bit confused
He tried to speak but said beep
He was poorly tuned
He messed with a little button
Told me to watch out
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, show me
Oh, what a treasure!
Isn't it beautiful?
So green, takes after his dad

Are you ready to go?
Are you going back to the plane?
Wait, there are already
Some sandwiches for the trip
And also grab that
Flannel shirt
So when you open the window
You won't catch a cold from the breeze

And the extraterrestrial sir
Seemed a bit confused
He tried to speak but said beep
He was poorly tuned
He messed with a little button
And then he could tell me
That he finds it funny when I talk
And he wants me to visit him
Or at least to write

And the extraterrestrial sir
Seemed a bit confused
He tried to speak but said beep
He was poorly tuned
He messed with a little button
Just to say: Thank you
I gave him a glass of wine
And off he went on his way
Which was a bit zigzag
