Things got pretty dark there It looked like we were stuck It's hard out in the desert When youre just a little duck So we built ourselves a raft And took it to the moon Though things got kind of rocky On those lunar afternoons Then oh no The waves are crashing harder Against our tiny boat That's drowning in the water The captain says He hopes it will get better We should not be sailing In such stormy weather The martians had a picnic
And they sent a telegram I think they meant to call me sir But instead they called me ma'am And most nights I stay in now I stare up at the stars Oh how I miss the lost can*ls On distant planet Mars And hey hey The water's flowing faster From my mother's fountain That my father made her And all day I've been working on this letter I've been trying and trying To say what I am after We should not be sailing in such stormy whether
