The Crickets, featuring Dean Barlow Version:

Here comes a flying saucer

Flying out of the moon

Here comes a flying saucer

Well, Jack, we all are doomed

My, you better run, son

It’s the man from the moon

You better jack, Jack

It’s the man from the moon

You better blow, Joe

It’s the man from the moon

You better run

It’s the man from the moon

Yes, you better run, son

It’s the man from the moon

You better jack, Jack

It’s the man from the moon

You better blow, Joe

It’s the man from the moon

You better run

It’s the man from the moon

Well, well, we were walking down the street (My)

Something shabby and pale (Oh)

Good thing we had our sneakers on

Yeah, they really got out of there

You better run, son

It’s the man from the moon

You better jack, Jack

It’s the man from the moon

You better blow, Joe

It’s the man from the moon

You better run

It’s the man from the moon

Well, look to a building (My)

Not much time to spare

Whatever it is that’s chasing us

Came whirling through the air

You better run, son

It’s the man from the moon

You better jack, Jack

It’s the man from the moon

You better blow, Joe

It’s the man from the moon

You better run

It’s the man from the moon

Well, look out my window (My)

See if it was clear (Oh)

Slammed and locked my window (Why)

Never had a tree out there

Yes, you better run, son

It’s the man from the moon

You better jack, Jack

It’s the man from the moon

You better blow, Joe

It’s the man from the moon

You better run

It’s the man from the moon

Look out, Jack

It might be The Thing

The Five Crowns’ version:

You better run, son

It’s the man from the moon

You better track, Jack

It’s the man from the moon

You better blow, Joe

It’s the man from the moon

You better run

It’s the man from the moon

You better run, son

It’s the man from the moon

You better track, Jack

It’s the man from the moon

You better blow, Joe

It’s the man from the moon

You better run

It’s the man from the moon

Don’t you know the earth is gloomy?

Can’t you see the sun won’t shine?

When the people hear all about it,

They’ll get together and start to run.

You better run, son

It’s the man from the moon

You better track, Jack

It’s the man from the moon

You better blow, Joe

It’s the man from the moon

You better run

It’s the man from the moon

You better run, son

It’s the man from the moon

You better track, Jack

It’s the man from the moon

You better blow, Joe

It’s the man from the moon

You better run

It’s the man from the moon

Look out!

It might be The Thing.
