I'm really a spaceman from those UFO's
Verse 2
C Am7
You gotta to move in a straight line
F G
You gotta to walk and talk in four four time
C Am7
You can't be wierd in a strange town

You'll be betrayed by your accent and manners

You gotta to wear the right clothes

Be careful not to pick or scratch your nose

"Coz we don't know , don't care, and we got to go mate"
Chorus
