MR. SPACEMAN
Roger McGuinn

Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside.
It was a light comin' down from the sky.
I don't know who or why.

Must be those strangers that come every night,
Whose saucer-shaped light put people uptight,
Leave blue-green footprints that glow in the dark.
I hope they get home all right.

CHORUS:
Hey, Mr. Spaceman, won't you please take me along?
I won't do anything wrong.
Hey, Mr. Spaceman, won't you please take me along
For a ride?

Woke up this morning. I was feeling quite weird.
Had flies in my beer. My toothpaste was smeared.
I opened my window. They'd written my name.
Said, "So long, we'll see you again."
CHORUS TWICE.
