Lyrics[]
([Shaggy:] Scooby, these are the craziest aliens I've ever seen. Like, they've got vacuum cleaner hoses comin' out of their noses!)
([Scooby:] Yeah, vacuum cleaner roses, scary. heeheeheeheeheehee!)
I was cruisin' in my ship on an interstellar trip
Really had a nasty flight
So I landed on a planet made of styrofoam and granite
To see if I could spend the night
I was dyin' of starvation in suspended animation
Hadn't had a bite since 2003
But little did I know where I was about to go
A wretched hive of scum and villainy
And they had
Vacuum cleaner hoses comin' out of their noses
And nothin' where their mouths should be
They had little green feet and I don't know what they eat
But one of them was eyein' me
I couldn't help but stare at their neon hair
You know it was a sight to see
If they would just leave me alone, you know I'd go back home
Mama, this is no place for me
I said "Excuse me, but you know it's getting dark, I think I'm double parked."
So I started for the door post-haste
Just as I started prayin', I could hear my mama sayin'
"Son don't go flyin' off in space"
I shoulda listened to my mama when she told me they got
Vacuum cleaner hoses comin' out of their noses
And nothin' where their mouths should be
They had little green feet and I don't know what they eat
But one of them was eyein' me
I couldn't help but stare at their neon hair
You know it was a sight to see
If they would just leave me alone, you know I'd go back home
Mama, this is no place for me
Oh, mama, help me
Well I hurried to my ride and when I stepped inside
There was critters everywhere in sight
It seems the rays that exude from my old T.V. tube
Make 'em wanna boogie all night
They've been watchin' my fission-powered color television
I guess there's no accountin' for taste
So I took them all along and now we're singin' a song
And we're havin' fun somewhere in space
And they got
Vacuum cleaner hoses comin' out of their noses
And nothin' where their mouths should be
They got little green feet and I don't know what they eat
But one of them is eyein' me
I can't help but stare at their neon hair
You know it is a sight to see
If they would just leave me alone, you know I'd go back home
Mama, this is no place for me
This is no place for me
Oh, this is no place for me
Mama, this ain't no place for me
This is no place for me
This is no place for anybody
Ooh mama, save me
