Gwendolyn:
When I was born
The doctor looked at me and said
He could have sworn
There were two brains inside my head!
'Cause it was big,
It was so big and full of dreams
You'll have ideas
She'll turn things into smart machines
And he was right!
You wanna know how smart I was? That doctor wasn't a he, it was a she! And that doctor was me! Yeah! I delivered myself!
Nancy:
Let's find a way to get that escape pod back to that asteroid.
Gwendolyn:
My future was bright
All the kids looked up to me
I had foresight
I was a visionary
But then one day
When I thought I had it all,
Then came Ms. Kay,
And she made me feel so very small!
She was my kindergarten teacher, you see. And I drew a picture. A picture of the future, when I would one day grow vegetables in space. And you know what she did? She laughed! And said, "What a cute little fantasy!"
So now you see,
It was Ms. Kay who crushed my dreams!
But that fueled me
To take my life to great extremes!
I've devoted each day
To space cabbage and kale,
But it was the only way
To get revenge on a major scale!
Which again,
Is why this initiative...
CANNOT FAAAAAAAAAAIL!!!
