[Intro]

Hey now, now

Mm-mm-mm

[Verse 1]

Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low

I leaned back on my radio

Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll, "Lotta soul," he said

Then the loud sound did seem to fade

Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase

That weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive

[Chorus]

There's a starman waitin' in the sky

He'd like to come and meet us

But he thinks he'd blow our minds

There's a starman waitin' in the sky

He's told us not to blow it

'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile

[Post-Chorus]

He told me

"Let the children lose it

Let the children use it

Let all the children boogie"

[Verse 2]

I had to phone someone, so I picked on you

Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too

Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on Channel Two

Look out your window, I can see his light

If we can sparkle, he may land tonight

Don't tell your papa, or he'll get us locked up in fright

[Chorus]

There's a starman waitin' in the sky

He'd like to come and meet us

But he thinks he'd blow our minds

There's a starman waitin' in the sky

He's told us not to blow it

'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile

[Post-Chorus]

He told me

"Let the children lose it

Let the children use it

Let all the children boogie"

[Chorus]

Starman waitin' in the sky

He'd like to come and meet us

But he thinks he'd blow our minds

There's a starman waitin' in the sky

He's told us not to blow it

'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile

[Post-Chorus]

He told me

"Let the children lose it

Let the children use it

Let all the children boogie"

[Outro]

La, la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
