(Something you want to add to this briefing, Capitan Hiller?) (No, Sir. Just a lttle anxious to get up there, and whup ET's ass, that's all.) You know, aliens that come on down from outer space Don't know the proper way to celebrate on Independence Day So, to all humankind across the land There's no need to argue, aliens don't understand Independence Day Independence Day Independence Day (As we goes a little somethin' like this. Hit it!) I remember one day, I think it was July 2nd I woke up, gave a yawn, scratched my head and my neck Went out, got the paper, looked up, and said "Hey A spaceship the size of Toledo flyin' over LA" Meanwhile, in New York, playin' chess in the park Was David Levinson, when the sky got dark It was another ship come down from outer space Got so dark, you couldn't see the crime in front of your face All across the world, it was the same ol' thing The biggest UFO scare since 1963 Over London, Moscow, Paris, Rome, and Japan Just how in the hell are we supposed to get a tan? David got to work, and my man he was tight Found a hidden signal in the satellite He said "It's a countdown, and it won't last long" Marty said "I just wanna be loved, is that so wrong?" David grabed his dad, and fought through the bustle They Escaped From New York, except without Kurt Russell David went to the White House, he had somethin' to prove He found (LONE STARR!) oops, worng movie President Whitmore, yeah that was his name He got the job through his Gulf War pilot fame David told him "They're gonna kill us, take the Earth, and disect it" Prez said "Looks I can forget getting re-elected" He told everyone it was a real Code Red Hoped on Air Force One, and DC they fled And just like David told him, without any braggin' They fixed our little red welcome waggon And even though some idiots would celebrate 4-3-2-1 came the big checkmate The bottom of the ship shot out some cosmic rays Turns out July 2nd's just one of those days The space ship blew LA away to smithereens Oh well, so much for Carlton and Hillary So, to all of humankind across the land Take it from me, aliens don't understand (Hey, Leroy, did you see the movie?) (What, Mission Impossible?) (No, c'mon, man. I saw the movie last night. It cost $474,000,000 to make that movie, 'cause they had to rebuild all the stuff they blew up.) (You always lyin'. You always lyin'.) OK, here's the situation The Earth just faced total annihilation And their welcome's worn out, they're time's expired (Let's kick the tires and light the fires, Big Daddy) That's where I step in, Captain Steven Hiller Number 1 Top Gun, and now alien killer Me and Captian Jimmy and the wild Black Knights Are gonna give those E.T. suckas one hell of a fight Pay attention, here's the thick of the plot The ship had a forcefield, we couldn't get in a shot So I forced one down, and when he crash landed I got out and shouted (Ship all banged up, who's the man!?) (Welcome to Earth) but he grinned an evil grin And said (Boy, I'm gonna tear your butt limb from limb) Just who do you think you're trying to destory? I'm made in America, a real Bad Boy The Fresh Prince of Roswell and he said "Why"? I said (Eh, I dunno, I'm just a hell of a guy) But if you wanna rule the world, I won't deny it Go ahead and take it, PSYCH!, don't even try it I knocked him out and dragged him in the sun To army base Area 51 I came to the gate and said "What have I missed?" "They just destoyed Philly" Ok, now I'm pissed These guys are harder to beat than Mike Tyson That's when David said we should put a virus in The alien ship, so they'll be disabled And just like Jazzy, we can turn the tables (We will not go quietly into the night) (We will not vanish without a fight) It's Independence Day, so celebrate with me Are you ready? I said "Prez, I'm ready to rock, see?" Me and David snuck on to the ship with ease (Awww, I have GOT to get me one of these!) The hero of the battle was Russell Casse An alcoholic Vietnam flying ace He once was abducted, but now he's elated To fly into the light and say (Payback's a bitch, ain't it?) Let's get the hell outta here before they kill ya (Must go faster, must go faster) Hmm, that sounds familiar We shot out of there like a waterslide flume And then (Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room!) I brought us home on a prayer and wing And if you listen close you'll hear the Fat Lady singin' So, that's the story, and, yeah it was strange And since then a couple of things have changed Since my house got blown up, I'm living at a Howard Johnson And the new nation's capital's Milwaukee, Wisconsin So, listen, homeboys, don't mean to bust your bubble But space aliens ain't nothin' but trouble So, next time, an ET gives you the play Just remember my rhymes and get the hell away Independence Day Independence Day Hey, yo Jeff, it's July 4th. You know what that means? That's right. That means it's Summertime (In the Summer, Summertime) We're too damn hype Gonna save all of mankind We're too damn hype In the Summertime (In the Summer, Summertime) We're too damn hype Gonna see it six more times We're too damn hype New definition of Summer Madness
