Woodbox Gang – Strange Desert 1947 (Ukulele)

Band: Woodbox Gang Album: Trashcan Americana VERSE 1

 B7                   G7   
The sky turned green as I was counting sheep

B7                    G7
Under my sleeping bag about to fall asleep

C           G             B7
From the sky flew a ball of light

C                  G               B7
Gripped with fear I closed my zipper tight

C7                        B7          E
You know I've always been a severe xenophobe

          C7                         B7         E
And I saw strange men with instruments aiming to probe

          C7          B7                 E
They had big heads and they had big black eyes

         C7                B7                      E
They were short and skinny and really funny looking guys

VERSE 2 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 VERSE 3 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
