Have you heard about the boom on Mizar Five
People got to shout to stay alive
They don't even have policeman one
Doesn't matter where you been or what you've done
Do you have a dark spot on your past
Leave it to my man he'll fix it fast
Pepe has a scar from ear to ear
He will make your mug shots disappear
[Chorus]
You zombie
Be born again my friend
Won't you sign in stranger
Do you like to take a yo-yo for a ride
Zombie I can see you're qualified
Walk around collecting Turkish union dues
They will call you sir and shine your shoes
Or maybe you would like to see the show
You'll enjoy the Cafe D'Escargot
Folks are in a line around the block
Just to see her do the can-can-Jacques
[Chorus]
Love or leave her, yellow fever
Sure, it's all in the game
And who are you
Just another scurvy brother
[Chorus]
People got to shout to stay alive
They don't even have policeman one
Doesn't matter where you been or what you've done
Do you have a dark spot on your past
Leave it to my man he'll fix it fast
Pepe has a scar from ear to ear
He will make your mug shots disappear
[Chorus]
You zombie
Be born again my friend
Won't you sign in stranger
Do you like to take a yo-yo for a ride
Zombie I can see you're qualified
Walk around collecting Turkish union dues
They will call you sir and shine your shoes
Or maybe you would like to see the show
You'll enjoy the Cafe D'Escargot
Folks are in a line around the block
Just to see her do the can-can-Jacques
[Chorus]
Love or leave her, yellow fever
Sure, it's all in the game
And who are you
Just another scurvy brother
[Chorus]

@nubbins "did either Fagen or Becker read much sci-fi?" My guess is yes. These guys do significantly more sci-fi songs than their contemporaries. This one, King of The World, Tomorrow's Girls, Trans-Island Skyway. Kamakiriad... (Some people claim Pretzel Logic is a time-travel song, I remain unconvinced.) There's also the IGY/New Frontier arc, which to me honestly reflects the "science fiction future" we were all promised back in the '50s.
