That weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Let all the children boogie"
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Let the children lose it
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
He told me "Let the children use it
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
He'd like to come and meet us
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Let the children lose it
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He told me "Let the children use it
He's told us not to blow it
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too
Let the children lose it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
Let all the children boogie"
He's told us not to blow it
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He'd like to come and meet us
Look out your window I can see his light
Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
He told me "Let the children use it
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down, some, "Get it on rock 'n roll 'lotta soul", he said
