[Verse 1] Charlie came in green With a silver grin Two left shoes And a moonlit skin He slid past the door Like a comic book spark Spun one little spin And lit up the dark [Pre-Chorus] Hey Charlie What you got? That odd little walk That I like a lot Hey Charlie Don’t stand still You got that shake And you know that thrill [Chorus] Alien boogie, Charlie Alien boogie, Charlie Move that body, Charlie Show me that other-world swing Alien boogie, Charlie Alien boogie, Charlie When you start to dance Everybody wants to sing [Verse 2] He wore a scarf Made of starlit thread Tapped on the floor Then he tilted his head He said, “Come close” With a crooked little wave Then the whole room jumped Like it woke from a cave [Pre-Chorus] Hey Charlie What you got? That odd little walk That I like a lot Hey Charlie Don’t stand still You got that shake And you know that thrill [Chorus] Alien boogie, Charlie Alien boogie, Charlie Move that body, Charlie Show me that other-world swing Alien boogie, Charlie Alien boogie, Charlie When you start to dance Everybody wants to sing [Bridge] Out past the glass Where the night bends low Charlie does that twirl And the whole room knows One step left Then a snap-turn flare If you follow Charlie You’ll end up there [Chorus] Alien boogie, Charlie Alien boogie, Charlie Move that body, Charlie Show me that other-world swing Alien boogie, Charlie Alien boogie, Charlie When you start to dance Everybody wants to sing
