My name is Three-Dots-and-a-Dash
I come from Outer Space
A very handsome boy am I
With green fur on my face
My eyes are brightest orange
My nose is navy blue
I think you'll recognise me
If I come to visit you
I live upon a distant star 
That you can't see from Earth
We're a very happy people
And our days are filled with mirth
We don't have any problems
Never worry 'bout a thing
No one can be unhappy
Because all day long, we sing
We've been flying through the Universe
For millions of years
We often visit planets
Where we try to sell our wares
We are brilliant inventors
And we're skilled in all the arts
We weave carpets out of moonbeams
So the floor is lit in parts
We use magic grass for clothing
With a lettuce for a hat
In our home we keep a giant mouse
Which chases out the cat
We'll be visiting the Earth for sure
I hope it's very soon
Perhaps we'll take friend Sarah
For a visit to the Moon
Our space ship is a triangle
So closely watch the skies
When ThreeDotDash comes visiting
You'll get a big surprise!
