- @1Hey listen up you, across the nation!
- Got some heavy news from the TV station
- The source or the cause of the weird vibration
- Was the beginning of an alien invasion
-
-
- Now this real cool cat popped out of his ship
- He said "Hi there baby, I've had a hip trip.
- Oh please my man, don't disintegrate me!
- I was hoping for a nice cup of tea!"
-
- I naturally extended a cordial invitation
- To partake of some steaming imbibition
- He said, "This drink bears absolutely no relation
- To my usual brand of hot libation..."
-
- "The tea on Mars is simply naff
- I don't really rate my local caf'
- They leave the bags in for far too long
- So my cup of cha gets oh so strong!"
-
-
- "That's why I learnt to be a space cruiser
- If I'd stayed on Mars, I'd have been a loser
- I'd have been a drunk or a law abuser
- So that's why I came to visit you, sir"
-
- "Can you see your way to a small donation
- To save your World from annihilation
- I promise I won't boil your seas
- If you come up trumps with the old Tetleys!"
-
- So listen up guys and listen real good
- Cos I just saved your neighbourhood
- With a packet or two of P.G. Tips
- I soon got rid of those alien ships
-
- So next time you start up a brew
- Watch the skies above so blue
- Make sure you make an extra cup or two
- Cos the aliens might decide to visit YOU!
-
-
- @5 THE END
