While cruising through the ionosphere, I saw these alien beings /
Everywhere I went up there, they were shakin' their alien things /
I'll give you a genuine faux pearl ring if ya git on up and shake /
Your... honeybuns! Shake your honeybuns!
Shake! Don't let it rest on the President's desk, rock the house! /
Oh yeah! Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh! Cosmic! Wooo! Shake that thing! Cosmic!
