Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wanna be the ruler of the galaxy
Wanna be the king of the universe
Let's meet and have a baby now
[Verse 2]
Wanna be the empress of fashion
Wanna  be the president of Moscow
Let's meet and have a baby now
[Verse 3]
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
[Verse 4]
Hey, I'm Fred the Cancerian of New Jersey
I like collecting records and exploring
The cave of the unknown
[Verse 5]
Hello, I'm Cindy, I'm a Pisces
And I like chihuahuas
And Chinese noodles
[Verse 6]
Wanna be the first lady of infinity
Wanna be the nicest guy on Earth
Let's meet and have a baby now
[Verse 7]
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
La, la, la, la, la
[Verse 8]
Hi, my name is Ricky and I'm a Pisces
I love computers and hot tamales
[Verse 9]
Hey, I'm Kate and I am a Taurus
I love tomatoes and black capped Chickadees
[Verse 10]
Hey, my name is Keith and I'm a Scorpio from Athens, G-A
And I like to find the essence from within
[Verse 11]
Wanna be the captain of the Enterprise
Wanna be the king of the Zulus
Let's meet and have a baby now
[Verse 12]
Wanna be the daughter of Dracula
Wanna be the son of Frankenstein
Let's meet and have a baby now
[Verse 13]
Wanna be mother-father
Daughter-son captain
Wanna be ruler-king and empress
[Verse 14]
Wanna be mother-father
Daughter-son captain
Wanna be ruler-king and empress
[Verse 15]
Wanna be mother-father
Daughter-son captain
Wanna be ruler-king and empress
[Verse 16]
Wanna be mother-father
Daughter-son captain
Wanna be ruler-king and empress
[Verse 17]
Wanna be mother-father
Daughter-son captain
Wanna be ruler-king and empress
[Verse 18]
Wanna be mother-father
Daughter-son captain
Wanna be ruler-king and empress
