Lyrics
Hey la, um de hey oh la
Greeting or expression of excitement.
Said, hey la, um de hey oh le
Repetition of the greeting or expression of excitement.
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Continuation of the enthusiastic greeting.
Said hey, oh hey, feelin' good today
Expressing a positive feeling or mood.
One day as I was a havin' myself a party
Narration of a personal experience at a party.
You know a flyin' saucer landed right by my side
Introduction of a flying saucer landing at the party.
You know a big green man jumped out and boy, you know he robbed me
Description of an alien robbing the narrator.
You know he beat me for my bottle before I got high
Explanation of the alien taking the narrator's bottle.
I hit' up knowing that I was dead
Narrator's realization of the danger.
Because he had that big ray-gun pointed at my head
Alien threatening the narrator with a ray-gun.
But curiosity will get the best of the best
Curiosity overcoming fear.
You know he smelled that bottle and the liquor did the rest
Effect of alcohol on the alien.
And I said, hey la, um de hey oh la
Repetition of the enthusiastic greeting.
Hey la, um de hey oh le
-Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
-Hey, oh hey, it ain't over yet
Expressing that the situation is not over.
Turned that bottle up and started drinking
Narrator starting to drink from the bottle.
It was a long, long time before he pulled it away
Alien taking a long time to pull the bottle away.
His eyes got crossed and man, his knees started wobblin'
Physical effects of alcohol on the alien.
He took four steps forward and this is what he said
Alien speaking after consuming alcohol.
He said, hey la, um de hey, oh la
Repetition of the enthusiastic greeting.
Hey la, um de hey, oh le
-He said hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
-Hey oh la, feel good today
Expressing a positive feeling or mood.
I could see this cat was just about to party
Observation of the alien's readiness to party.
Because he had that great big grin in his eye
Description of the alien's happy expression.
He said come on hurry on down, let's forget our troubles
Invitation to forget troubles and join the alien in a ride.
Just jump in my space hot-rod and take a little ride
Description of the alien's space hot-rod.
So now I'm not afraid of no kind of space man
Narrator expressing no fear of the alien.
Because I keep my defenses by my side
Asserting the narrator's preparedness.
And if you ever see me any place or any time
Declaration of always holding the bottle.
You can bet I'm a holding my bottle by my side
Reassurance of the narrator's state.
And I'm gonna sing Hey la, um de hey, oh la
Repetition of the enthusiastic greeting.
Hey la, um de hey, oh le
-Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
-Hey oh hey, I feel good today
Expressing a positive feeling or mood.
