We have just discovered an important note from space The Martians planned to throw a dance for all the human race I got into the rocket ship to see the Martian Hop I saw the place is shining which there I made my stop But as I opened up the door and climbed the ladder down I saw the Martians on the floor dancin' to this sound It seemed I was the first one there and I was so surprised To see the Martians twist and shout before my very eyes They did the Loco-Motion and the Hully-Gully, too I couldn't name a single dance the Martians wouldn't do Right around the stroke of twelve, the dance had just begun We couldn't put this spaceship down on Mars to have some fun And so I let my friends, the Martians, drive me the ground And even though I'm back on Earth, I still hear this sound.
