[A] The other night I was walking down the street.
I was getting kind of hungry.
I decided to get me something to eat.
[Am] Now I passed up all the chain franchise joints on Hamburger Row and stopped at a little greasy
spoon place I [Am] always eat at called Eat.
I said, go, get you one of those greasy hamburgers all peppered up, lay you up in the hospital
[A] for ten days.
So I ordered me up a couple of them grease bombs.
Waitress brought them over, lifted up the bun, checked them out.
Damn, no kissing.
So I nudged the guy sitting next to me at the counter.
I said, hey, how about passing the ketchup over?
Suddenly [E] this little bitty green hand holding a ketchup [A] bottle came into view.
And I freaked, because the guy sitting next to me [A] was a Martian.
[E] [Eb]
[A] Now in 28 years eating hamburgers, I ain't never run into no Martian at a 2.30. in the morning, and certainly not at a fine scarfing establishment like Eat. [Am] Well, he was sitting over there with a bunch of colored sticks on his plate, and I looked over at him and I said, what you eating there, boy? [A] Crayons? He said, why no, they're Martian cigarettes. Here, try one. Well, about a half hour later, he looked over at me and smiled. Them old Martians ain't got but two teeth in their head. And [E] he said, how do you [A] feel? And I said, well, [D] so good. Yeah, I do. I'm boogie, [A] I'm a little rainy, [G] [E] and I'm through [Ab] those blues. [A] I don't know, but I'm boogie. [G] I can talk shit [D] to you. I'm boogie, I'm called boogie, baby. [Gm] [Gb] [Em] [Bb]

[A]
[Am] So I asked [A] him, I said, now where else you been boy? [E] And he told me, said I rocked them over and I rocked them down, rocked them in the country, I rocked them in town, rocked them on every song, hooked them in, whoop whoop, the lady asked my name, told her my name was on the [A] tip of my [Gb] shirt, I said, well I can tell Margin don't have to work, [D] yeah I feel so good!
