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
