Lyrics:

We have just discovered an important note from space
The Martians plan to throw a dance for all the human race


Papa ooh mir mir, papa ooh mir mir papa ooh, papa ooh, papa ohh mir mir


I got into my rocketship to see the Martian Hop
I saw the planet shinin' red, so there I made my stop
But as I opened down the door and climbed the ladder down
I saw the Martians on the floor dancin' to this sound


Papa ooh mir mir, papa ooh mir mir papa ooh, papa ooh, papa ohh mir mir


It seems I was the first one there and so I was surprised
To see the Martians twist and stomp before my very eyes
They did the 'Locomotion', then the 'Hully-Gully' too
I couldn't name a single dance that Martians couldn't do


Papa ooh mir mir, papa ooh mir mir papa ooh, papa ooh, papa ohh mir mir


Now right around the stroke of twelve the dance has just begun
The earth kids parked their spaceship down on Mars to have some fun
And so I left my friends the Martians stompin' on the ground
And even though I'm back on Earth I still can hear this sound...


Papa ooh mir mir, papa ooh mir mir papa ooh, papa ooh, papa ohh mir mir...
