Arcturus Blues
Arcturan Mama, you sure do treat me mean;
Arcturan Mama, sure do treat me mean:
you're the meanest old entity I've ever seen.
I got a gal on Terra, a gal on Vega 5;
yeah, a gal on Terra, and one on Vega 5:
but my Arcturan Mama puts my soul in hyperdrive.
Arcturan Mama got helium in her hair;
Arcturan Mama, helium in her hair:
she got cobalt skin and chromium underwear.
An Arcturan woman's got an ectoplasmic glow;
Arcturan woman's got that ectoplasmic glow:
she got joy receivers from her heads down to her toe.
If you're going to Arcturus won't you give my baby a call;
if you're going to Arcturus, please give her a call:
she looks like a pyramid inside a ball.
Going back to Arcturus, gonna see my baby soon;
ooh, back to Arcturus, see my baby soon:
gonna make her segments wiggle underneath that big green moon.
