I Read It In The Star

This came from an idea on a long drive home.  In the second iteration of FreeFall, one of the members lived in New Jersey (about two hours away).  We would pick her up, and then take her home.  It was on one of these long, late night trips home that we started playing around with Yellow Submarine.  By the time we were home, we had a song.

I Read It In The Star

By Brian Dean and Shirley Dean

I heard across the way,

they saw Elvis by the bay.

And I know that it's OK,

cause he was there with JFK.

(chorus) I know its true cause I read it in the Star,

read it in the Star, read it in the Star.

I know its true cause I read it in the Star,

at the grocery checkout today.

There are aliens on Mars,

say the photos from afar,

and we will visit them one day,

when we've finally found a way.

Did you know you can lose weight,

by eating everything on your plate?

The diet plan is quite sublime,

and it's yours for just $19.99.

I know its true cause I read it in the Star,

read it in the Star, read it in the Star.

(spoken at same time as second 'read it in the Star') There's aliens on Mars!

I know its true cause I read it in the Star,

at the grocery checkout today.

Did you know the human race,

did not start out from this place.

And there's proof of this you see,

they found space pods in Hawaii.

There's a man who has two heads,

he needs two pillows when in bed.

And a girl who is part horse,

but that's expected, of course, of course

(spoken after second 'of course') Oh Wilbur!

I know its true cause I read it in the Star,

read it in the Star, read it in the Star.

(spoken at same time as second 'read it in the Star') There's aliens on Mars!

I know its true cause I read it in the Star,

at the grocery checkout today.

The Star is really keen,

it's my favorite magazine.

And I know it's really true,

they wouldn't lie to me and you.

The pictures are so clear,

that they are real, I have no fear.

But the weirdest one I've seen,

is of a yellow submarine.

I know its true cause I read it in the Star,

read it in the Star, read it in the Star.

(spoken at same time as second 'read it in the Star') There's aliens on Mars!

I know its true cause I read it in the Star,

at the grocery checkout today.
