Displaced in Space

(To "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya'")


Well, who'd have guessed your awful fate, haroo, haroo.
Well, who'd have guessed your awful fate, haroo, haroo.
Well, who'd have guessed your awful fate
When you stepped upon the transporter plate:
You've reassembled in a mixed-up state,
And Johnny, I hardly knew ya'.

What's happened to your handsome face, haroo, haroo.
What's happened to your handsome face, haroo, haroo.
What's happened to your handsome face?
The molecules are all scattered in space,
And a Vegan slime has taken their place.
Johnny, I hardly knew ya'.

Where are your eyes that used to smile, haroo, haroo.
Where are your eyes that used to smile, haroo, haroo.
Where are your eyes that used to smile?
They wave on stalks and they're retractile.
I'm beginning to wonder if you're quite my style,
Johnny, I won't lie to ya'.

Your spine is weak and your smell is strong, haroo, haroo.
Your spine is weak and your smell is strong, haroo, haroo.
Your spine is weak and your smell is strong,
You've grown as hairy as old King Kong.
Now please don't say I'm doing you wrong,
But Johnny, I hardly knew ya'.

What's happened to your gorgeous bod, haroo, haroo.
What's happened to your gorgeous bod, haroo, haroo.
What's happened to your gorgeous bod?
You kiss by extruding a pseudopod,
And your sexual needs are extremely...odd!
Johnny, I hardly knew ya'.

Still, the love I bore you has not gone, haroo, haroo.
The love I bore you has not gone, haroo, haroo.
The love I bore you has not gone,
For the part of you I held most fond
Has grown so huge and lasts so long,
(Sigh) Johnny, I hardly knew ya'!
