[Intro]
Well, mm, mm, mm... well, remember that total eclipse of the sun a few weeks ago?

[Verse 1]
(Da-doo)
I was walkin' in the wholesale flower district that day
(Shoop da-doo)
And I passed by this place where this old Chinese man
(Chang da-doo)
He sometimes sells me weird and exotic cuttings
(Snip da-doo)
'Cause he knows, you see, that, that strange plants are my hobby
(Da da da da da da-doo)

[Verse 2]
He had nothing, nothing really unusual there that day
(Nope, da-doo)
And I was about to, ya know, just walk on by
(Good for you)
When suddenly, suddenly and without warning, there was this
Total eclipse of the sun

[Verse 3]
It got very dark and then I heard a strange humming sound
Like something from another world
(Da-doo)
And when the light came back, this weird plant was just sitting there
(Whoopsie-doo)
Just stuck in you know, among the zinnias
(Audrey Two)
I coulda sworn I hadn't seen it before, but the old Chinese man sold it to me anyway for a dollar ninety-five
(Sha la la, la la la, la la la loo-oo-ooo)
I think Halley's Comet was passing over that day too
