Rizzo: Hey Look Gonzo, Jimmy's Buffet!
Gonzo: Oh, No No No No/ That's Jimmy Buffett. He's Recording in there.
Come on let's go say hello.
Rizzo: No thanks, I saw a sign down the hall that said meatloaf.
Gonzo: Well I'm going to see Jimmy...
Gonzo: Hello Jimmy
Jimmy: Gonzo
Gonzo: Hey, you don't look so good
Jimmy: I had the most amazing night last night
(Singing)
Jimmy: Woke up this morning, with light in my eye,
And then realized it was still dark outside.
It was a light coming down from the sky.
I don't know who or why
Gonzo: 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 alright.
(Chorus)
Both: 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 the ride.
Jimmy: Woke up this morning,
I was feeling quite weird.
Had flies in my ear and my toothpaste was smeared.
Opened my window,
they had written my name.
Both: Said so long, we'll see you again.
(Chorus)
Both: 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 the ride.
(Talking)
Rizzo: Hey you two.
Gonzo: What do you want Rizzo?
Rizzo: You won't believe this, but there's a space ship outside.
Jimmy: Oh yeah, I knew they'd come back for me.
Rizzo: What!
Jimmy: Come on boys, let's go
Gonzo: Yeah, let's go
Rizzo: No way, I'm not goin up in that thing.
Gonzo: Oh Rizzo
(Singing)
(Chorus)
Both: 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 the ride.
Won't you please take me along for the ride.
(Talking)
Jimmy: Alright Gonzo, you ready to go?
Gonzo: Sure
Rizzo: Gonzo, you can't leave. You have to be here for the end of the album
Gonzo: Ah, yeah
Jimmy: Hey, see you later guys. I'm space bound.
Rizzo: Have a nice flight
Gonzo: Yeah, see you in the tabloids
Gonzo: Say Rizzo, is there any of that meatloaf left?
Rizzo: Nah, the was some big guy in there. I guess he ate it all.
