Rizzo: Hey Look Gonzo, Jimmy's Buffet!

Gonzo: Oh, No No No No/ That's Jimmy Buffett. He's Recording in there.
Come on let's go say hello.

Rizzo: No thanks, I saw a sign down the hall that said meatloaf.

Gonzo: Well I'm going to see Jimmy...

Gonzo: Hello Jimmy

Jimmy: Gonzo

Gonzo: Hey, you don't look so good

Jimmy: I had the most amazing night last night
(Singing)

Jimmy: Woke up this morning, with light in my eye,
And then realized it was still dark outside.
It was a light coming down from the sky.
I don't know who or why

Gonzo: Must be those strangers that come every night,
Whose saucer shaped light, put people uptight.
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark.
I hope they get home alright.
(Chorus)
Both: Hey Mr. Spaceman,
Won't you please take me along.
I won't do anything wrong.
Hey Mr. Spaceman,
Won't you please take me along for the ride.

Jimmy: Woke up this morning,
I was feeling quite weird.
Had flies in my ear and my toothpaste was smeared.
Opened my window,
They had written my name.
Both: Said so long, we'll see you again.

(Chorus)
Both: Hey Mr. Spaceman,
Won't you please take me along.
I won't do anything wrong.
Hey Mr. Spaceman,
Won't you please take me along for the ride.

(Talking)

Rizzo: Hey you two.

Gonzo: What do you want Rizzo?

Rizzo: You won't believe this, but there's a space ship outside.

Jimmy: Oh yeah, I knew they'd come back for me.

Rizzo: What!

Jimmy: Come on boys, let's go

Gonzo: Yeah, let's go

Rizzo: No way, I'm not goin up in that thing.

Gonzo: Oh Rizzo

(Singing)

(Chorus)

Both: Hey Mr. Spaceman,
Won't you please take me along.
I won't do anything wrong.
Hey Mr. Spaceman,
Won't you please take me along for the ride.
Won't you please take me along for the ride.

(Talking)

Jimmy: Alright Gonzo, you ready to go?

Gonzo: Sure

Rizzo: Gonzo, you can't leave. You have to be here for the end of the album

Gonzo: Ah, yeah

Jimmy: Hey, see you later guys. I'm space bound.

Rizzo: Have a nice flight

Gonzo: Yeah, see you in the tabloids

Gonzo: Say Rizzo, is there any of that meatloaf left?

Rizzo: Nah, the was some big guy in there. I guess he ate it all.
