"1953"
I was part of an intergallactic crime ring
I had my own gang and we were livin' the dream
but I got popped and when the hammer dropped
you won't believe where they sent me
to Roswell New Mexico back in 1953
C:
I'm a bonafide alien
livin like a homosapien
I dropped a dime so I could cop a plea
and now there's a universal hit on me
but no-one can find my hidin' place
I'm in the witness protection program
for intersteller snitch's on the lam
When I first got here I was freakin petrifide
all those men in thier white suits had a wild look in thier eyes
before I knew it I was in a big bright room
and when they strapped me down I felt the hands of doom
I was poked, prodded and rectum-sized
tatooed, processed and classified
C2:
I'm a bonafide alien
livin like a homosapien
I dropped a dime so I could cop a plea
and now there's a universal hit on me
but no-one can find my hidin' place
I'm in the witness protection program
and I've had so much plasma surgery
even I don't recognise me
B:
The government claimed it was all a big media hoax
and thats just fine it helped me blend in with those
freaky trekky folks
C3:
I'm a bonafide alien
livin like a homosapien
I dropped a dime so I could cop a plea
and now there's a universal hit on me
So if your out takin' pictures with your polaroid
ya might catch me ridin' on an asteroid
leavin' Roswell New Mexico
thats the way they've been sendin' us ET's home
at Roswell New Mexico since 1953

hi Ron...was just browsing around and saw this...since I was born in 1953, I decided to listen to it...I liked it...it did remind me of Arlo Guthrie in a way...I don't mean that to detract from your individuality...you don't sound like him, the song just reminded me of him
Well crafted lyrics. Catchy tune like "Puff the Magic Dragon" carries this to new heights. Fine little ditty.

Not the best of recordings, but what do you expect from a Bonafide Alien!
