Shirley Jones was giving me the bug eye Her eyes were bugging out of her big ole head Shirley Jones was pretty as a magpie I took her out to dinner then I took her to bed
Patty Joe Purrina was an evil little woman The kind that couldn't let a little rumor out of her sight You see Shirley Jones was a married woman And in Appleberry Georgia that just ain't right
Oh yeah But I'm the man from outer space baby I have no bones to be broken Yeah I'm the man from outer space baby I have no bones to be broken
Well big Jim McCarthy Jones was sure some evil sumbitch He drove a Peterbuilt 84 with a 20 ton hitch They said he'd killed a man in Macon but he never went to jail Cause they never found the body just a finger in the mail
Well I guess Patty Joe Purrina saw us at the lamplighter inn While she was at cozy's liquor emporium buying bourbon and gin It took her about a second for her to do what she had to do She called up ole big Jim and told him everything she knew
Oh yeah But I'm the man from outer space baby I have no bones to be broken Yeah I'm the man from outer space baby I have no bones to be broken
Well now big Jim went and took his shotgun down With every intention of putting me Shirley Jones six feet underground But when I heard his pickup truck pull up into that lot Me and Shirley Jones headed out the back like a shot
Jumped in my Chrysler headed down chestnut lane Looked in my rearview and what I saw there was hard to explain Thought it was the devil come to take me to hell But it was big Jim leaning out his window firing off shotgun shells
Oh yeah But I'm the man from outer space baby I have no bones to be broken Yeah I'm the man from outer space baby I have no bones to be broken
Crashed into the northpike mall made a wrong rendezvous Knew this was it I didn't know what to do That's when Sheriff Gemsbok showed up on the scene Me and Shirley Jones thanked the sheriff and got away clean
Oh yeah But I'm the man from outer space baby I have no bones to be broken Yeah I'm the man from outer space baby I have no bones to be broken
