"When Your Father Hails from Mars"

It's hard to win at golf
. When you're scoring only pars
It's hard to throw a party
. When the guests are superstars
It's hard to kiss a girl
. When you're smoking big cigars
It's hard to keep your hair short
. When you sing and play guitars
It's hard to keep a straight face
. When the facts are NPR's
It's hard to run for office
. When they put you behind bars
It's hard to whistle "Dixie"
. When your lips are creased with scars
It's hard to drive through Cleveland
. When you fly the Stars and Bars
It's hard to track the planets
. When your head's up in the stars
It's hard to live on Earth
. When your Father hails from Mars.
