Mr. Spaceman Lyrics
[spoken]
Rizzo: Hey look, Gonzo, Jimmy's Buffet!
Gonzo: Oh, no no no no. That's Jimmy Buffett. He's recording in there. Come on, let's go say hello
Rizzo: No thanks, I saw a sign down the hall that said meatloaf
Gonzo: Well, I'm going to see Jimmy...
[door opens]
Gonzo: Hello Jimmy
Jimmy: Gonzo
Gonzo: Hey, you don't look so good
Jimmy: I had the most amazing night last night
[sung]
Woke up this morning, with light in my eye
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light coming down from the sky
I don't know who or why
Gonzo: Must be those strangers that come every night
Whose saucer shaped light, put people uptight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home alright
Both: Hey Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for the ride
Jimmy: Woke up this morning
I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my ear and my toothpaste was smeared
Opened my window
They had written my name
Both: Said so long, we'll see you again
Both: Hey Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for the ride
[spoken]
Rizzo: Hey you two
Gonzo: What do you want, Rizzo?
Rizzo: You won't believe this, but there's a space ship outside
Jimmy: Oh yeah, I knew they'd come back for me
Rizzo: What!
Jimmy: Come on boys, let's go!
Gonzo: Yeah, let's go!
Rizzo: No way, I'm not goin' up in that thing!
Gonzo: Oh, Rizzo!
[sung]
Both: Hey Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for the ride
Won't you please take me along for the ride
[spoken]
Jimmy: Alright Gonzo, you ready to go?
Gonzo: Sure
Rizzo: Gonzo, you can't leave. You have to be here for the end of the album
Gonzo: Ah, yeah
Jimmy: Hey, see you later guys. I'm space bound
Rizzo: Have a nice flight
Gonzo: Yeah, see you in the tabloids
Gonzo: Say Rizzo, is there any of that meatloaf left?
Rizzo: Nah, there was some big guy in there. I guess he ate it all
Rizzo: Hey look, Gonzo, Jimmy's Buffet!
Woke up this morning, with light in my eye
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light coming down from the sky
I don't know who or why

I hope they get home alright
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey Mr. Spaceman

Hey Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for the ride
Won't you please take me along for the ride
Jimmy: Alright Gonzo, you ready to go?
