It's a god-awful small affair
to the girl with the mousy hair
But her mother is yelling "No" and her father
as told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
as she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
and she's hooked to the silver screen
+
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
as they ask her to focus on
Chorus:
Sailors, fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! look at those cavemen go,
it's a freakest show
Take a look at the Lawman,
beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know he's
in the best selling show
+
Is there life on Mars?
It's on Amerika's tortured brow
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Brittania is out of bounds
+
To my mother, my dog and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
`Cause I wrote it ten times before
It's about to be writ again
Chorus:
Sailors, fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! look at those cavemen go,
it's a freakest show
Take a look at the Lawman,
beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know he's
in the best selling show
+
Is there life on Mars?
