What if the sleepy town of Eatonton, GA was attacked by aliens?
And what if their only weakness was a flute wielded by Ginny Luke?
lyrics
Just an ordinary day is what I thought
An ordinary day is what I thought
But nobody asked me what I thought!
And I heard a voice on the radio
It said that aliens invaded from space you know
And when he said it, I heard it in stereo!
Chaos ensued as the streets were filled with panic
The aliens crashed into Brer Rabbit
And we just looked at each other and we said "Uh oh!"
The biggest alien issued a statement
He said that music was the thing he most hated
From all the junk that we had beamed into space, yeah!
They'd traveled light years to get rid of all musicians
And that put some of us in a big predicament
But we just looked at each other, and we said "Uh oh!"
But then Ginny stepped through the crowd
A look of defiance, a flute at her mouth
She played a melody
And the melody shook the ground
And that was the sound that saved...
The flute was the sound - and the sound! - that it saved our town!
Apparently to aliens the flute can be lethal
Ginny's note dissolved the hordes into the ether
Just an ordinary day in our town
And ordinary day in our town...
