 Guys From Space
(Tune: Polly Wolly Doodle)
Cherry Carl

Oh, I went to school, and I took my place,

Read some books about outer space.
I wondered when we’d see the face
Of one or two guys from space!

Guys from space! Guys from space!

Will they like the human race?
I hope we’ll never bring disgrace
When we visit with the guys from space!
