[Chorus]

Woah, it came out of the sky, landed just a little south of Moline

Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't believe what he seen

He laid on the ground and shook, a-fearin' for his life

Then he ran all the way to town screamin' "It came out of the sky"


[Verse 1]

Well, a crowd gathered 'round and a scientist said it was marsh gas

Spiro came to make a speech about raisin' the Mars tax

The Vatican said, "Woe, the Lord has come"

Hollywood rushed out an epic film

Ronnie the Populist said it was a communist plot, woah-oh


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 2]

Oh, the newspaper came and made Jody a national hero

Walter and Eric said they'd put him on a network TV show

The White House said, "Put the thing in the Blue Room"

The Vatican said, "No, it belongs to Rome"

Jody said, "Mamas, you can have it for seventeen million"


[Chorus]

Woah, it came out of the sky, landed just a little south of Moline

Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't believe what he seen

He laid on the ground a-shakin', fearin' for his life

And then he ran all the way to town screamin' "It came out of the sky", woah-oh
