(spoken)
Tracy Turnblad, this is for you

They came from way far out
In outer space (Ah-ooh)

They may destroy the human race

[AMBER]
If I were her, I'd be depressed
Long tailed, sharp nailed
Fuzzy legs, laying eggs
(spoken)
Ew, get 'em away from me, get 'em away from me, ew!

(sung)
In science class
She's like a walking show-and-tell (Ah-ooh)
Her pet skunk ran away
'Cause it couldn't take the smell

Grew up in a cootie zoo
