THE MARTIAN HOP

The Ran-dells

By Steven Rappaport, Robert Rappaport, John Spirt



Papa ooh mir mir papa ooh mir mir papa ooh mir mir papa ooh mir mir

Ee-ee-ee ee-ee

I got into my rocket ship to see the Martian Hop

I saw the planet shining red so there I made my stop

But as I opened up the door and climbed the ladder down

I saw the Martians on the floor a-dancin' to this sound

Ee-ee-ee ee-ee the Martian Hop ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee-ee



I saw I was the first one there and so I was surprised

To see the Martians twist and stomp before my very eyes

They did the locomotion and the hully-gully too

I couldn't name a single dance the Martians couldn't do

Ee-ee-ee ee-ee the Martian Hop ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee-ee



Now right around the stroke of twelve the dance had just begun

They earth kids parked their spaceship down on Mars to have some fun

And so I left my friends, the Martians, stomping on the ground

And even though I'm back on earth I still can hear this sound.

Ee-ee-ee ee-ee the Martian Hop ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee-ee

(fade out while repeating "papa ooh mir mir")
