A D
This cat named Klaatu and his buddy Gort
C E A
Flew their saucer to the Dulles airport.
A D
They said, "We bring an urgent message from a distant star;
C E A
We've monitored your civilization from afar.
D A
It's a matter of survival or we wouldn't be here,
C E A
For your priorities are out of order, we fear.
D A
Your armies and your weapons are impressive, it's true;
C E A
But there's one important thing that you forgot to do:
Chorus:
A D A D
You forgot to boogie! You forgot to boogie!
E7 A7
To make time with that funky groove is mankind's sacred duty.
D
We say that you must change your ways, and shake your Earthling booty;
E7 A7
To save your species, you must get down and boogie!"
A Starfleet officer said to his Vulcan friend,
"I'm proud to serve beside you, and I will to the end;
But when you're talking trash about emotions and such,
It makes me sad to see you so out of touch.
Your planet is at peace, but I wonder at the cost,
For fear and anger aren't the only things you've lost.
Illogical humans have something deep inside,
A special talent that your people have denied:
Chorus:
You forgot to boogie! You forgot to boogie!
To make time with that funky groove is mankind's sacred duty.
We say that you must change your ways, and shake your Vulcan booty;
To save your species, you must get down and boogie!"
So don't forget to boogie! Don't forget to boogie!
To make time with that funky groove is mankind's sacred duty.
I say that we must change our ways, you bet your sweet patootie;
To save our species, we must get down and boogie!
