Welcome to Invasionville

Welcome to Invasionville!
A normal, humdrum town
Apart from the constant alien threat
And the beaming up and down
Welcome to Invasionville!
The home of close encounters
Where every second citizen glows
And sets off Geiger counters
Welcome to Invasionville!
Our skies are full of saucers
They’re on the hunt for abductees
So do lock up your daughters
Welcome to Invasionville!
I’ll say it on my oath
You’ve never seen — no time, no where —
Such striking vegetable growth
Welcome to Invasionville!
We’ve lots to do and see!
(You may be cloned or bodysnatched
So please bring some ID)
Welcome to Invasionville!
Our population varies
From normal types with steady jobs
To weirdoes, cranks, and scaries
Welcome to Invasionville!
There’s Greys and Things and Blobs
And super-powered robots with
All sorts of dials and knobs
Welcome to Invasionville!
You’ll want to settle down
Buy a house, a car, a wife
(Just like in Stepford Town)
Welcome to Invasionville!
Do join the Neighbourhood Watch
You’ll never believe the things you’ll see
So bring a bottle of Scotch!
Welcome to Invasionville!
This really is the future!
(That chip they planted in your head,
You know, it really suits ya!)
Welcome to Invasionville!
We think you’ll want to stay
(Until some glowing tractor beam
Transports you up and away!)
