Cosmik Debris
The Mystery Man came over
An' he said: "I'm outa-site !"
He said, for a nominal service charge,
I could reach nervonna t'nite
If I was ready, willing 'n able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
And devote His Attention to me
But I said . . .
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris ?
(Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris ?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me
The Mystery Man got nervous
An' he fidget around a bit
He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe
An' he whipped out a shaving kit
Now, I thought it was a razor
An' a can of foamin' goo
But he told me right then when the top popped open
There was nothin' his box won't do
With the oil of Afro-dytee
An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo
He said:
"You might not believe this, little fella, but it'll cure your Asthma too !"
An' I said . . .
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris ?
(Now what kind of a geroo are you anyway ?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me
Don't waste yer time . . .
I've got troubles of my own, I said
An' you can't help me out
So take your meditations an' your preparations
An' ram it up yer snout
"But I got a kristl bol !," he said
An' held it to the light
So I snatched it
All away from him
An' I showed him how to do it right
I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head
So I'd look like I was Deep
I said some Mumbo Jumbos then
An' told him he was goin' to sleep
I robbed his rings
An' pocket watch
An' everything else I found
I had that sucker hypnotized
He couldn't even make a sound
I proceeded to tell him his future then
As long as he was hanging around,
I said
"The price of meat has just gone up
An' yer ol' lady has just gone down ... "
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris ?
(Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho ?)
Don't you know,
You could make more money as a butcher,
So don't you waste your time on me
(Don't waste it, don't waste your time on me... )

The Radio is broken
The cosmos at large
It's so very big
It's so far away
The comets... the craters... the vapors...
The solar wind.
The residual echoes... the residual echoes
The residual echoes... the residual echoes
The residual echoes from the giant explosion,
Where they said it beginned.
The germs from space !
The negative virus knitwear
The blobulent suit
That's right! The blobulent suit !
It's made of rubber, it's very ugly...
It's got an air hose...
(The guy that has it all has a Space Wrench !)
The things that were supposed to be green in the black and white movies
They get you in the neck when you're not looking
They get you, they get you, they get you, get you, get you
The radio is broken it don't work no more
The radio is broken it don't work no more
The lovely Lisa Kranston
Her father invented the secret fuel (that's right !)
For the rocket,
So she gets to go with a clipboard
She writes it down when the meters go around
And falls in love in a space warp
Space warp
Space warp
The giant knobs
The porthole where you see the earth for the first time
The corrogated fiberglass interior walls
The partially reclining G-force lawn furniture
The brown hole
The pointed brassieres
The atomic war
The tiny little dresses on the space girls
A love starved race
Begging to reproduce with earthmen
They need to reproduce (with John Agar)
They need to reproduce (with Morris Ankrum)
They need to reproduce (with Richard Basehart)
They need to reproduce (with Jackie Coogan)
They need to reproduce (with Sonny Tufts)
The botchino... the botchino...
The botchino... the botchino...
The botchino... the botchino...
The gigantic spider.
The co-pilot always plays the harmonica
The navigator always gets killed by a bad space person
Uh-oh, the radio is broken
It don't work anymore
The radio is broken
It don't work anymore
The radio is broken
It don't work anymore
We'll never get back to the Earth no more
Uh-oh !
We have to fall in love on Uranus
The radio is...
That's right, uh-oh
The radio is broken
The meteor storm
You spilled your coke
You're stepping on the popcorn
JOHN AGAR !
Uh-oh...
