Lyrics: Galaxy Boogie

“Mercy sakes alive! They done landed behind Earl’s bait shop!” Well it happened one night in Tennessee Right outside a town called Hickory Creek A flyin’ hot-rod saucer fell from the sky With tailfins chrome and purple headlights The sheriff fainted dead away When six space chicks stepped out to play Silver boots and meteor eyes Star dust glitter on their thighs Aw rock! rock! galaxy boogie tonight! Them outer space babies got the whole town right Spin me round till the rooster yawns We’re dancin’ that galaxy boogie till dawn Earth girls cry and slam the door Cause country boys don’t date ’em no more Everybody’s gone plum wild For a little hot space rockabilly child Farmer Brown dropped his plow Said “Lordy mama look at ’em now!” Preacher Joe lost his Sunday speech When a Venus gal kissed him on the cheek They danced on trucks and Cadillacs Shot moonbeams from their silver slacks Every jukebox in the county blew When them Martian babies started to move Aw rock! rock! galaxy boogie tonight! Them outer space babies got the whole town right Spin me round till the rooster yawns We’re dancin’ that galaxy boogie till dawn Earth girls mad and raising Cain But the boys all gone insane Every cat in Tennessee Wants a little space girl sittin’ on his knee Well they parked that saucer by the creek Stayed about a solid week By Friday night the whole darn town Was wearin’ rocket boots and jumpin’ around Aw rock! rock! galaxy boogie tonight! Them cosmic chicks done stole my mind Flyin’ hot rod burnin’ bright Headed back to Mars by morning light Earth girls holler “This ain’t fair!” But moon-gals got electric hair Every boy from here to dawn Wants a rocket queen to carry him on “Look out mama! Here comes another one from Jupiter!”

About this song

This campy, high-energy retro rock track follows a whimsical narrative of a flying saucer full of alien visitors landing in a small rural Tennessee town to lead locals in dancing the infectious Galaxy Boogie, paired with a driving, danceable groove and humorous, story-driven lyrics.
