Take your memory pills and put your face mask on (10)
Planet Earth to Sleepy Joe (9,8,7)
Commencing countdown, put pants on (6,5,4)
Check teleprompter when we can’t be with you (3,2,1) lift off

This is Planet Earth to Sleepy Joe
You’ve finally made the grade
And the people want to know if you’re all there
Now it’s time to leave your basement if you dare

This is Sleepy Joe to Planet Earth
I’m going up the stairs.
And I’m wondering if I can find my way.
And my wife looks very different today

Down there
I was sitting in my basement
Far from the world
They gave me things to say
And hoped I could read that day

I read my lines one hundred thousand times
But still I screw them up
So I hope somebody knows what I should do
Please tell them that I couldn’t risk the flu

Planet Earth to Sleepy Joe
Your brain wave’s dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, Sleepy Joe?
Can you hear me, Sleepy Joe?
Can you hear me, Sleepy Joe?
Can you....

Down there
I was sitting in my basement
Far from the world
Now I must go outside
And there’s nowhere I can hide
