MARTIAN HOP (Spirt,Lawrence,Rapport)

We have just discovered an important note from space
The Martians plan to throw a dance for all the human race.

Papa ooh mir mir papa ooh mir mir papa ooh papapapa ooh mir mir
Ee-ee-ee-ee-ee

I got into my rocket ship to see the Martian hop
I saw the planet shing 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-dancing 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
The earth kids parked their spaceships 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

Recorded by the Ran-Dells in 1963 on London HL-U.9760 (in the UK)
