Here come the martian Martians,
                                                                 B
And I wouldn't be surprised if they were riding on their Martian bike.
And we have to find out right now
                                       E
What kind of flavour do these Martians like.


VERSE:
Here come the martian Martians
And they're riding on their Martian bike
Well, we have to find out right now
What kind of ice cream do the Martians like?


VERSE:
Here come the martian Martians
Why staying in such a cheap hotel?
Maybe we should help out the Martians
Looks like the Martians ain't doin' too well.


BRIDGE:
E
Martian time time time
                   B
Well, it's martian rhyme time
                                           E
We got a martian rhyme for martian Martian time
And the Martians got notebooks in their little hand
             B
Well they're strangers in this land
                                   E
Martian time, it's martian Martian time


VERSE:
E
Well, here come the martian Martians.
                                       B
They're trying to fight with rocks and sticks
Don't the Martians know better?
                                        E
Looks like they're up to their same old tricks.
Well, here come the martian Martians,
                            B
They got notebooks in their hand.
What are they trying to write down?
                                       E
I guess they must be strangers in this land.


BRIDGE:
E
Martian rhyme rhyme
              B
Well, Martian time time
                                                 E
Well, you got martian rhymes for martian Martian time.
See, the Martians have notebooks in their little hand.
                   B
See, they're still strangers in this land.
                                   E
Martian time, it's martian Martian time.


VERSE:
      E                                          B
Well, here come the Martians baking up a Martian cake
We better find out right now
                                      E
What kind of flavor do these Martians make.
Well, here come the martian Martians,
                              B
There're martian schoolgirls, too
Well, I like the martian schoolgirls,
                         E
And I hope they like me, too.

VERSE:

The Martians have notebooks in their little hand
                B
Because they're strangers in this land.

Martian rhyme, it's martian Martian time.
Well, here come the martian Martians
                                  B
Well, they're baking up a Martian pie
                                             E
I hope the Martians like me and give some to I.
Well, here come the martian Martians,
                                    B
Well, they're setting up a Kool-Aid stand.
Where's their financial advisor?
                                E
Somebody should take him by the hand.
