Monster Men
Iggy Pop · Other Songs - Iggy Pop
Five little monsters were riding through space
Their spaceship broke and they fell into this place
They gotta get out but they don't know how
So they're waiting and waiting in a creepy creepy house
The whole human race is already pretty loony
But the ones who move in this house are gonna go boony
Monsters live on tv never in the zoo
Hang around with us and you'll be a monster too
Lalala lalalala we like monster men
Lalala lalalala we like monster men
Poor old stereo he ain't sure just what he knows
Etno is intelligent he's quite a super-head
Gorgious is a great big guy but he's fat from too much pie
Bud is cool of course it's true but he's a tv fool
Lalala lalalala we like monster men
Lalala lalalala we like monster men
Candy is the sweetest one cleans and cooks and acts like mom
All of them are going nutz their spaceship's on the futz
The human race gets in their face gotta drive the from this place
Of course they've got smtv nightmares for the family
Lalala lalalala we like monster men
Lalala lalalala we like monster men
Gotta get and ride home baby gotta get and ride now
Gotta get and ride home baby but they don't know how
Lalala lalalala we like monster men
Lalala lalalala we like monster men
