Things got pretty dark there and it looked like we were stuck
It's hard out in the desert when you're just a little duck
So we built ourselves a raft and we took it to the moon
'Though things got kind of rocky on those lunar afternoons

Then, oh no!
The waves are crashin' harder
'Gainst our tiny boat that's drownin' in the water
Heard the captain say he hopes it will get better
We should not be sailing in such stormy weather

The martians had a picnic and they sent a telegram
I think they meant to call me "sir" but instead they called me "ma'am"
And most nights I stay in now and I stare up at the stars
Oh, how I miss the lost canals on that distant planet Mars

But, hey hey!
The water's flowin' faster
From my mother's fountain that my father made her
And all day I've been workin' on this letter
I've been tryin' and tryin' to say what I am after
