Lyrics[]
Ricky:
You might see before you
An ordinary man
Ha!
An earthly illusion
All a part of the cosmic plan!
Yes, long ago, they visited
Those others from outer space
Informed me I'm the chosen one to save the Zolarian race!
It's true, listen
Noel/Mischa:
Ricky, we are a distant galaxy
A galaxy great in need
Of your groove, your kink-o-matic powers
Yes we need your freak-tastic seed
Ricky:
They took me then, to their daughters' realm, the land of the Kitty Cat Star
I know you've heard the legends of
Ricky/Choir:
The sexy cat women from Zolar!
[Cat noises]
Constance/Jane/Ocean:
Meow
Meow
Constance:
Make love to me, Ricky!
Ricky:
What?
Constance/Jane/Ocean:
Meow
Meow
Ricky:
Okay
Ocean:
But there's one more small thing
Won't you please help save our galaxy,
Constance/Ocean:
Ricky?
Ricky:
Sure
What would you do in my place?
A mere mortal man?
With the fate of a galaxy before you?
Millions of lives in your hand?
The naughty daughters
Of the realm
All hungry
For my chi
You'd never guess
The role I played
In Zolarian history!
I'm just a swingin'
Choir:
Ah
Ricky:
Space age
Bachelor man
Let's dance, kitties
[Instrumental]
[Meowing]
Constance/Jane/Ocean/Ricky:
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!
Ricky [spoken]:
It gets weird now
Noel/Mischa:
Ricky, you've lain with our daughters
You're our hero, our saving grace
But now there is a new challange
For Zolaria to face. . .
Ricky:
For they're at war with K-9
Noel/Mischa:
Ah
Ricky:
Count Dog-u-lous,
Ricky/Choir:
That son of a bitch!
Ricky:
The generals are all standing by
Choir:
Tell us, Ricky, should we pull the switch?
Constance/Jane/Ocean:
Meow
Meow
Ricky [spoken]:
Oh my goodness, what have I gotten myself into?
Constance/Ocean:
Meow
Meow
Ricky [spoken]:
Why are they asking me? I’m a lover, not a fighter! I thought I told them,
Ricky:
I'm just a swingin'
Choir:
Ah
Ricky:
Space age. . .
Choir:
Ah, ah
Ricky:
Bachelor man!
So I told them
"I am just a man, a space age man, that's all I am
But I wanna hold your hands--all your hands, as we make love tonight
Oh, I have no desire
To rule the galaxy
Oh to hold you close, is enough for me
Making love
In zero gravity-y-y-y!"
Woah!
Hey!
Choir:
Makin' love
Makin' love
Makin' love of just love Zolar!
Ricky:
Zolar! Woo!
Choir:
Makin' love
Makin' love
Makin' love of just love Zolar!
Ricky:
Uh!
I've got to
I've got to make
You're my catnip
You're the most-
You're such a pretty, gritty kitty
I wanna be
Your scra-hatchin' post
Let me be
Let me be
Let me be
Choir:
Makin' love
Makin' love
Makin' love of just love. . .!
Ricky:
And they listened. And they heard my message, for I was singing notes that only cats or cat people could hear. A G#, 5 octaves above middle C Incredible. Peace was restored.
I guess that’s what happens when you're a swingin'
Choir:
Ah
Ricky:
Space age. . .
Choir:
Ah, ah
Ricky:
Bachelor man!
So I came back to Earth
To show you the way
To lead you pretty people
To a brighter day
We can save the whole galaxy
With love from the heart!
And sexy cat ladies
That's, that's, that's
Where we'll start!
Yes, I came back to this rock!
With my love and my seed!
Ladies, you got what I want
And you know I've got what you need
Cause I'm a swinging!
Choir:
Ah
Ricky:
Space age!
Choir:
Ah, ah
Ricky:
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bachelor man!
Choir:
Bachelor man!
Meow!
