    The cosmos at large
    It's so very big
    It's so far away
    The comets...the craters...the vapors
    The solar wind
    The residual echoes...the residual echoes
    The residual echoes from the giant explosion
    Where they said it beginned

    The germs from space!
    The negative-virus knit-wear
    The blobulent suit
    That's right! the blobulent suit
    It's made of rubbert, it's very ugly
    It's got an air hose...
    (the guy that has it all has a space wrench!)

    The things that were supposed to be green
    In the balck and white movies
    They get you in the neck when you're not looking
    They get you, the get you, they get you, get you, get you
    The radio is broken -- it don't work no more
    The radio is broken -- it don't work no more
    The lovely lisa kranston:
    (her father invented the secred fuel (that's right!)
    For the rocket)
    So she gets to go with a clipboard!
    She writes it down when the meters go around
    And falls in love in a space warp
    Space warp
    Space warp

    The giant knobs
    The porthole where you see the earth for the first time
    The corrugated fiberglass interior walls
    The parially reclining g-force lawn furniture
    The brown hole
    The pointed brasseries
    The atomic war
    The tiny little dresses on the space girls
    A love-starved race begging to reproduce
    With earthmen
    They need to reproduce (with john agar)
    They need to reproduce (with morris ankrum)
    They need to reproduce (with richard basehart)
    They need to reproduce (with jackie coogan)
    They need to reproduce (with sonny tufts)
    The botchino...the botchino...the botchino

    The gigantic spider
    The co-pilot always plays the harmonica
    The navigator always gets killed by a bad space person
    Uh-oh -- the radio is broken
    It don't work anymore
    The radio is broken
    It don't work anymore
    The radio is broken
    It don't work anymore
    We'll never get back to the earth no more
    Uh-oh!
    We have to fall in love on uranus!
    The radio is...
    That's right -- uh-oh
    The radio is broken
    The meteor storm
    You spilled your coke
    You're stepping on the popcorn
    John agar!
    Uh-oh...
    (dwarf nebula)
