It's a god-awful small affair    To the girl with the mousy hair    But her mother is yelling "No"    And her father has told her to go    But her friend is nowhere to be seen    Now she walks through her sunken dream    To the seat with the clearest view    And she's hooked to the silver screen    But the film is a saddening bore    For she's lived it ten times or more    She could spit in the eyes of fools    As they ask her to focus on    Sailors fighting in the dance hall    Oh man! Look at those cavemen go    It's the freakiest show    Take a look at the Lawman beating up the wrong guy    Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know    He's in the best selling show    Is there life on Mars?       It's on America's tortured brow    That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow    Now the workers have struck for fame    'Cause Lennon's on sale again    See the mice in their million hordes    From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads Rule    Britannia is out of bounds    To my mother, my dog, and clowns    But the film is a saddening bore    'Cause I wrote it ten times or more    It's about to be writ again    As I ask you to focus on       Sailors fighting in the dance hall    Oh man! Look at those cavemen go    It's the freakiest show    Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy    Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know    He's in the best selling show    Is there life on Mars?    Is there life on Mars?
