[Intro] Gordon Shumway! Is the gain up? Good. This one goes out to Sector Zed-Zed-Plural-Zed-Alpha... the 405... …the Tanners... and anyone still eating kale like it's really food. Listen up [Verse 1] The City of Velcro, back on the Planet of Melmac sometimes I think; wouldn't it be nice to go back Where the sky was green and the grass was blue and naming your kid after wood, was illegal to do when I could order some tabby on a nice Dinnersaur Bun somedays you could see both moons and the purple sun then there was the day with the massive system backfire when most of the population simultaneously turn on their Hairdryer [Hook] ALF — Alien Life Form Lost in a blast but I lived through the storm ALF — Alien Life Form From Melmac to Earth to the tales I perform Out of the wreckage, out of the norm [Verse 2] I spent a few good years on a rock called the Earth The Tanners were amazing hosts for all that it's worth They tried to keep me safe, and hide me in their laundry Until the ATF caught up with me, life was almost a comedy Endless TV and frozen pizza, I was the government's guest That part of my life wasn't the worst, it wasn't the best I look at that world, and I can see the same cracks Not much better than Melmac, just way worse snacks HA!, I Kill me! [Hook] ALF — Alien Life Form Lost in a blast but I lived through the storm ALF — Alien Life Form From Melmac to Earth to the tales I perform Out of the wreckage, out of the norm [Bridge] Now I’m up on New Melmac with the last of my kind Buildin’ up this new world anyway we can find Cat People, and Melmacians, It’s a wild sight For a bunch of cosmic misfits, I think we’re doin’ alright I’m runnin’ a show now, tellin’ tales from the past And stories from Earth with me and my friends as the cast But I’m here, and I’m tryin’, and I’m doin’ my best To honor the worlds that put me to the test One thing I miss from Earth from before I made bail Is the piles and piles of beautiful, sometimes stupid, fan mail I miss every doodle, every rant, every illegible plea From humans who somehow saw somethin’ in me From Velcro to Earth to this podium and platform I’m Still ALF — Alien Life Form [Hook] ALF — Alien Life Form Lost in a blast but I lived through the storm ALF — Alien Life Form From Melmac to Earth to the tales I perform Out of the wreckage, out of the norm [Outro] My Friends Call me ALF Willie, Kate… I feel it's time I came clean about the stove... It was Lucky! …Ha!, I Kill me!!
