You can play in the same key as the video, but I haven't included the instrumental verse. Thanks to Raylene Mulrooney for suggesting this song for BUG!
Roswell is a city in New Mexico, United States. The Roswell incident was named after the town, though the crash site of the alleged UFO was some 75 miles (121 km) north of Roswell and closer to Corona. The investigation and debris recovery was handled by the local Roswell Army Air Field. On the 50th anniversary of the Roswell incident, an annual UFO Festival was started. Roswell's tourism industry is based on ufology museums and businesses, as well as alien-themed and spacecraft-themed iconography.

That inspired this quirky little tune about the 1947 UFO incident. We didn't see any actual UFOs while we were there, but there was plenty of alien kitsch all over the town which I found delightful."
