Lyrics

Song For A Future Generation

[Chorus]

Wanna be the Ruler of the Galaxy

Wanna be the King of the Universe

Let's meet and have a baby now!

Wanna be the Empress of Fashion

Wanna be the President of Moscow

Let's meet and have a baby now!

La! La! La! La! La!

La! La! La! La! La!

La! La! La! La! La!

La! La! La! La! La!

[Verse 1]

Hey, I'm Fred the Cancerian from New Jersey

I like collecting records and exploring the cave of the unknown

Hello, I'm Cindy, I'm a Pisces

And I like chihuahuas and Chinese noodles

[Chorus]

Wanna be First Lady of Infinity

Wanna be the Nicest Guy on Earth

Let's meet and have a baby now!

La! La! La! La! La!

La! La! La! La! La!

La! La! La! La! La!

La! La! La! La! La!

[Bridge]

Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now!

Now! La! La! La! La! La!

[Verse 2]

Hi, my name is Ricky and I'm a Pisces

I love computers and hot tamales

Hey, I'm Kate and I am a Taurus

I love tomatoes and black-capped Chickadees

Hey, my name is Keith and I'm a Scorpio from Athens, G-A

And I like to find the essence from within

[Chorus]

Wanna be the Captain of the Enterprise

Wanna be the King of the Zulus

Let's meet and have a baby now!

Wanna be the Daughter of Dracula

Wanna be the Son of Frankenstein

Let's meet and have a baby now!

[Outro]

Wanna be Mother-Father

Daughter-Son, Captain

Wanna be Ruler-King and Empress

Wanna be Mother-Father

Daughter-Son, Captain

Wanna be Ruler-King and Empress

Wanna be Mother-Father

Daughter-Son, Captain

Wanna be Ruler-King and Empress

Wanna be Mother-Father

Daughter-Son, Captain

Wanna be Ruler-King and Empress

Wanna be Mother-Father

Daughter-Son, Captain

Wanna be Ruler-King and Empress

Wanna be Mother-Father

Daughter-Son, Captain

Wanna be Ruler-King and Empress
