[Intro] Back in the 80s I knew this one chap, When he'd come around , You'd best hide your cat. Hit it! [Verse 1] Furry little outlaw, straight from the stars, Crash landed in the Tanner family garage, Name Gordon Shumway, but they called him Alf. Alien Life Form completely full of himself. Melmac went boom from a hair dryer craze, Everybody styling on the same damn day. Whole planet fried in a hot-air wave, Now he couch surfing Earth actin' unphased. Two foot ten but he talk six-four, Smart mouth joker always schemin' for more, Willie stressed out pacing holes in the floor, Kate yelling “ALF!” every time he ignores. [Chorus] IT'S ALF!!! Stands for Alien life form! Livin large on earth But Melmac was where he was born. IT'S ALF! Mr. Shumway if your nasty Looking at your cat, Thinking they'd be quite tasty. IT'S ALF!!!! [Verse 2] Sneaking through the kitchen in the dead of night, Looking at Lucky like a bucket of bites, Tanners lock the cat up, keep him outta sight, Cause Alf's got a hunger and zero moral rights. Government agents wanna lock him away, So the family keeps him hidden every day, Window shades closed when he comes out for air. Cause Area 51 got a bed to prepare. Yo he followed a signal through the cosmic black, Hit Earth too hard now his ship got cracked, Living room philosopher with a stand-up act, Roasting every human with a wisecrack attack. [Chorus] IT'S ALF!!! Stands for Alien life form! Livin large on earth But Melmac was where he was born. IT'S ALF! Mr. Shumway if your nasty Looking at your cat, Thinking they'd be quite tasty. IT'S ALF!!!! [Bridge] He's loud, obnoxious, a pain in the ass, But somehow still became part of the cast, Like that weird uncle everybody likes to harass, But when trouble comes around, he's the first one to laugh. [Chorus] IT'S ALF!!! Stands for Alien life form! Livin large on earth But Melmac was where he was born. IT'S ALF! Gordon Shumway if your nasty Looking at your cat, Thinking they'd be quite tasty. IT'S ALF!!!! [Verse 3] From Melmac streets to suburban nights, Eating all the food and starting all the fights, 80s legend under orange porch lights, Furball icon in the sitcom lights. So raise up a toast for the alien king, With the crooked little nose and avoice that stings, He survived his world, to the stars took wing, Now he chilling with the Tanners doing weird-ass things IT'S ALF!!!! [Outro] Back in the 80s, nobody was like Alf, A cosmic catastrophe wrapped up in pelt, Cat-chasing menace with emotional health, But deep down Gordon finally found himself.
