The UFO Song
• UFOs & Bogus Science
Roy F. Craig, an investigator who worked on the country's largest, most systematic investigation of flying saucers, died Thursday, March 18, 2004, at his La Boca Ranch, south of Ignacio.
Craig also composed The UFO Song .
He enjoyed singing the song accompanied by a tape in which he played the dulcimer backing and worked whooshes, beeps and pings into the music. He said the odd sounds were "whistlers from outer space," never explaining whether the whistlers were a joke or a sophisticated astronomical finding.
The second of the song’s four verses reads:
I’m a Ufo from Atlantis
Compassion rules my home.
I am jolly and free and loving
And o’ course I’m not alone.
My friends beneath the oceans
Soar with me as I fly.
We live in Davy’s locker
Where rests the Nelly Bly
A sailing o’er Kentucky
I pause and spurt along.
I’m filled with gay malarkey
As I sing the Ufo song.Beep beep beep beep beep beep
Beep beep beep beep beep beep
Beep beep beep beep beep beep
Beep beep beep beep beep beep
Beep beep beep beep beep beep
Beep beep beep beep beep beep.(Many more beeps follow.)
