The Little Space Girl

Jessie Lee Turner



I was strolling through the park one night

And oh, I felt so blue

When I heard a little voice say

"I'm so lonely, too."



Then I turned around to look

And to my surprise

A little space girl sat there crying

Right before my eyes.



Stepping up a little closer

To see what I could see

She said, Mister Earthman,

Will you please marry me?



I said, Why, no, I couldn't do that

Why, that just wouldn't be right,

Cause you and me and me and you

We don't even look alike



Cause you've got four arms

The better to hold you

Three lips

The better to kiss you

Three eyes

All the better to see

I can really rock and swing

Cause I've got more of everything

Oh, Mister Earthman, will you marry me?



I said, What would people think

When we go strolling by

Why, they'd not only laugh at us

They'd lay right down and die



Then they'd put you and me in jail

There we would be

And the people, they'd come from miles around

Just to look at you and me.



Cause you've got four arms

The better to hold you

Three lips

The better to kiss you

Three eyes

All the better to see

I can really rock and swing

Cause I've got more of everything

Oh, Mister Earthman, will you marry me?



I said, This thing's gone far enough

I've had enough of this

She said, Please, Mister Earthman

Just one little kiss?



I said, Okay, okay, okay!

But then you go away

But when I finished kissing her

I had this to say



Oh, you've got four arms

The better to hold you

Three lips

The better to kiss you

Three eyes

All the better to see

I can really rock and swing

Cause I've got more of everything

Oh, Mister Earthman, will you marry me?



Why, sure!!
