Текст песни: The Martian Boogie + перевод

The other night I was

Walking down the street

I was getting kinda hungry

I decided to get me something to eat

Now I passed up all the chain

Franchise joints on Hamburger Row

And stopped at a little greasy spoon place

I always eat at called Eat, Sit and Gulp

Get you one of the greasy hamburgers

All peppered up, lay you up in the

Hospital for ten days

So I ordered me up a

Couple of those grease bombs

Waitress brought 'em over

Lifted up the bun, checked 'em out

Damn, no ketchup

So I nudged the guy sitting next to me

At the counter, I said, «Hey, partner

How about passing the ketchup over?»

Suddenly, this little bitty green hand

Holding a ketchup bottle came into view

And I freaked cause the guy sitting

Next to me… was a Martian!

Now in twenty-eight years of eating hamburgers

I ain’t never run into no Martian

Not at 2:30 in the morning and certainly

Not at a fine scarfing establishment like Eat

Well, he was sitting over there with a

Bunch of colored sticks on his plate

And I looked over at him and I said

«What you eating there, boy, crayons?»

He said, «Why no!

They’re Martian cigarettes!

Here, try one!»

Well, 'bout half hour later

He looked over at me and smiled

Them ol' Martians ain’t got

But two teeth in their head

And he said, «How do you feel?»

And I said, «Weeeeeeell, I feel so good

Yeah, I do, gonna boogie

Wow! Til the break of day!»

Meanwhile, back at Eat’s

I was stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill thinking, I said

«How come out of all the places

You could have landed

You ended up here?»

He said, «Well, according

To my lunar space map

This town here is supposed to be

The boogie capital of the U.S.A!»

So I asked him, I said

«Now, where else you been, boy?»

And he told me

He said, «I've rocked 'em over

And I’ve rocked 'em down

Rocked 'em in the country

I’ve rocked 'em in town

Rock 'n' roll, Memphis on up to Maine

Woke up a lady and she asked my name!

Told her the name was on ten of my shirts

Told her, rocking chair Martian

Don’t have to work!»

Yeah, I feel so good

Yeah, yeah, gonna boogie

Martian boogie
