When we saw it first and took it home we raised it as a pet
It was strange, but it was lovable and warm
We were shocked before the year was over, when we saw it sweat
When it turned and took a strange, disfigured form
It’s an alien
Of course we know it now
But we don’t know why it chuckles when we bow
In the second stage the alien was pacified by food
We were lucky that it had a taste for wood
When it grew a new appendage we were certain it was rude
But it shrivelled up in winter, which was good
It’s an alien
Of course we know it now
And by Christmas it was bigger than a cow
If you’re listening
It’s glistening
It’s trying hard to split
There is nothing we can do to make it quit
It’s an alien
Of course we know it now
We should send it back, but none of us know how
We were shocked to see the thing become a terrifying head
It is rolling round the garden, and it stinks
When we tried to get the government to study it, they said
They are willing to collect it if it shrinks
It’s an alien
Of course we know it now
It’s an alien
It chuckles when we bow
It’s an alien
It’s bigger than a cow
It’s an alien
And none of us know how it plays the fiddle
