The sky turned green as I was counting sheep
Under my sleeping bag about to fall asleep
From the sky flew a ball of light
Gripped with fear I closed my zipper tight
You know I've always been a severe xenophobe
And I saw strange men with instruments aiming to probe
They had big heads and they had big black eyes
They were short and skinny and really funny looking guys
One started through my backpack one picked up my guitar
He strummed a string and jumped into the other one's arms
One found the Old Crow bottle took a sniff but not a drink
Passed it around and they all had a smell of that bottle of stink
This went on for a while till I grabbed the bottle and I guzzled
I must have guzzled a pint and a half or more just to show these superior extraterrestrials
We may not have your advance technology
But I do believe I can drink you all under every operating table
From here to the next galaxy
Then I passed it back and they all had a big swallow
They began to dance around and scream and shout and holler
But overall I'd say we had a good time I even played my guitar
Until the campfire died we just laid there staring up at the stars
We laid awhile till they had to stumble on back to their ship
I said "Be careful fellows, have a safe trip"
I watched that craft wobble in the sky as they did go
It's such a strange desert here in Southern New Mexico
