Space Age Bachelor Man (World Premiere Cast Recording) Lyrics
RICKY:
YOU MIGHT SEE BEFORE YOU
AN ORDINARY MAN
HA! AN EARTHLY ILLUSION
ALL A PART OF THE COSMIC PLAN
YES, LONG AGO, THEY VISITED
THOSE OTHERS FROM OUTER SPACE
INFORMED ME I’M THE CHOSEN ONE
TO SAVE THE ZOLARIAN RACE!
It’s true. Listen…
NOEL/MISCHA AS ALIENS:
RICKY, WE ARE A DISTANT GALAXY
A GALAXY GREATLY IN NEED
OF YOUR GROOVE, YOU KINK-O-MATIC POWERS
YES WE NEED YOUR FREAK–TASTIC SEED
RICKY:
THEY TOOK ME THEN, TO THEIR DAUGHTERS’ REALM
THE LAND OF THE KITTY CAT STAR

ALL HUNGRY FOR MY CHI
YOU’D NEVER GUESS THE ROLE I PLAYED
IN ZOLARIAN HISTORY!

RICKY (spoken):
And they listened. And they heard my message, for I was singing notes that only cats or cat people could hear. A G#, 5 octaves above middle C
[Almost inaudibly high note.]
Incredible. Peace was restored. I guess that’s what happens…
WHEN YOU’RE A SWINGIN’…
SPACE AGE…
