THE MARTIAN HOP The Ran-dells By Steven Rappaport, Robert Rappaport, John Spirt Papa ooh mir mir papa ooh mir mir papa ooh mir mir papa ooh mir mir Ee-ee-ee ee-ee I got into my rocket ship to see the Martian Hop I saw the planet shining red so there I made my stop But as I opened up the door and climbed the ladder down I saw the Martians on the floor a-dancin' to this sound Ee-ee-ee ee-ee the Martian Hop ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee-ee I saw 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 and the hully-gully too I couldn't name a single dance the Martians couldn't do Ee-ee-ee ee-ee the Martian Hop ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee-ee Now right around the stroke of twelve the dance had just begun They earth kids parked their spaceship down on Mars to have some fun And so I left my friends, the Martians, stomping on the ground And even though I'm back on earth I still can hear this sound. Ee-ee-ee ee-ee the Martian Hop ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee-ee (fade out while repeating "papa ooh mir mir") From: Steven Rappaport, the co-writer, member of The Ran-Dells, and producer of the record.
