[Sung theme]
"All Hit Radio"

All right, you're listening to "All Hit Radio", and it's 53 degrees at 30 minutes past the hour. And right now, on our all-request line I've got Mike Wedgewood on the phone. Hey, babe, what would you like to hear?

[faintly] We are observing your Earth.

Hey, babe, I'm sorry, I can't hear you too well. You're going to have to speak a little closer into the phone. Ok, babe? What would you like to hear again?

We are observing your Earth.

Hey, Mike, I'm sorry, babe, but that's not on our play-list! And by the way, you sound great over the phone. Anyway, if you give us your request, we'll be glad to play it for you, babe, so let's hear it!

We are observing your Earth.

Uh, listen Mike, I'm sorry, babe, but we can't...

... and we'd like to make...

... I'm sorry, Mike, but we can't... there's...

... a contact... with you...

... baby.

In your mind you have capacities you know.
To telepath messages through the vast unknown.
Please close your eyes and concentrate
with every thought you think
upon the recitation we're about to sing.

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft.
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft.

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft.
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft.
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft.

You've been observing our Earth
and we'd like to make a contact with you.

We are your friends.

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft.
Calling occupants of interplanetary, ultra emissaries.

We've been observing your Earth
and one night we'll make a contact with you.

We are your friends.

Calling occupants of interplanetary quite extraordinary craft.

And please come in peace, we beseech you.
(Only a landing will teach them)
Our Earth may never survive.
(So do come, we beg you)
Please interstellar policeman.
(Oh, won't you give us a sign)
Give us a sign that we've reached you.

With your mind you have ability to form
and transmit thought and energy far beyond the norm.
You close your eyes, you concentrate,
together that's the way
to send the message
we declare World Contact Day.

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft.
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft.
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft.

Calling occupants...
Calling occupants...
Calling occupants of interplanetary, anti-adversary craft.

We are your friends.
