Lyrics[]
I'm from way, way beyond time and space
It's my job to study planets and their meaning
Then one day, I was tasked
Trust, I did not ask
To come to Earth and learn about human beings
I need the smartest on the planet to help me understand it
And that's why I've come to you
Now teach me all about humans
Everything about humans
Congrats on your promotion
Let's get this thing in motion
There's so much for me to understand
You're welcome, Lunella
Now it's time to help this fella
Decide the fate of-
Extended[]
I'm from way, way beyond time and space
And got infinite powers to flaunt
Got the ability, agility to turn this whole facility
Into whatever I want, check it out
Out in the ethers, it's my job to study planets
Well, at least that was the plan
Then one day, I was tasked, nope I did not ask
To come to Earth and learn about humans
Teach me all about humans
Everything about humans
Teach me all about humans
Everything about humans
So I came on down and was completely dumbfounded
By what you do, and the choices you beings make
Like, just because you manage not to die for a year
You celebrate with a cake?!
I needed a guide, it had to be someone smart
But no human matches my intellect
So I searched for the smartest person on earth
That led me right to you, Lafayette
Come on, tell me all the things that I really wanna know
Like, why it's weird to use your finger when you clean out your nose?
Why you say you're on your way when you haven't left the house?
And what the heck is the difference between a shirt and a blouse?
Congrats on your promotion
Let's get this thing in motion
There's so much for me to understand
You're welcome, Lunella
Now it's time to help this fella
Decide the fate of all humans
Before you rudely interrupted, I was trying to explain
Galactic spring-cleaning needs to be done
I wasn't sure if humans were worthy of existence
But Lunella, you've helped me a ton
Your abysmal review has helped me see
A truth I now understand
So, thanks so much Lunella for convincing this fella
To get rid of all humans
Erase all of the humans
Get rid of all the humans
Goodbye humans
(Beyonder!)
