Lyrics
Planet of Hungry Women © 2003, m. drumm
Planet of Hungry Women!
Gather 'round all of you spacemen
Listen to my tune
About a planet of hungry women
On the other side of the moon
I was flyin' my rocket cruiser
It was out around the Milky Way
I got an S. O. S. from some gals in distress
They said they needed me right away
Fifteen minutes later
I landed with a mighty roar
I almost had a heart attack
When I opened up the door
There was a mob of hungry women
They started to jump and scream
They carried me off on their shoulders
To the palace of the queen
Planet of hungry women!
The queen was in the throneroom
She stood out from the crowd
Boys, I mean to tell you
She was more than well endowed
They started closin' in
They started formin' lines
The queen said tonight we're gonna do things right
Four or five million times
I jumped through a plate-glass window
I ran to my rocketship
I heard my motor cough, then I blasted off
You know I gave them all the slip
Now if you're ever cruisin' the spaceways
Fellas take a tip from me
If you visit The Planet of Hungry Women
Better pack some vitamin E
Planet of Hungry Women!
