FLYING SAUCERS

You hear a lot of talk these days of missiles in the sky,
of objects come from outer space, and saucers flying by
I don't know if there's truth in this but there's one thing I know
There's saucers flying 'round my house, that wife of mine can throw

Last week I told her I would have to sit up with a friend
who came down with a fever and the evening I must spend
but somehow she got wise to me; her friend Jane tipped her off
and as I stepped in side the door, some thing came flying (by?)

Flying saucers, flying saucers
if I should ever come in late at night
Flying saucers, flying saucers
I've stopped a dozen saucers in their flight.

I told her that her mother could not come to visit us
We argued and we argued, oh we had a frightful fuss
I said if she comes in that door, I'll throw her out of here
and just then as I turned around I got one on the ear

I guess we're just like Jigs (?) and Maggie, born to fight like this
The other day I came in and I offered her a kiss
I had a few snorts, I'll admit, she smelled it on my breath
and so a flying saucer almost caused my sudden death!

Flying saucers, flying saucers
if I should ever come in late at night
Flying saucers, flying saucers
I've stopped a dozen saucers in their flight.

  1. Jiggs was (maybe still is) a comic strip about a guy named Jiggs and his wife Maggie.
