(Hungry clone
Hungry clone)

Well when you create life,
Can be kinda funny
If you create a bee
Or a furry bunny.
But mess around with the human genome--
You might create a hungry clone.
It's a brave new world--mitochondrial
Get a hungry clone from a small cell ball.
Yeah, but if you cloned Melanie Griffith. . .
Get collagened lips?

No, a hungry clone hardly is a baby,
'Cause a hungry clone's "born" full-blown.
Use DNA from hair or a piece of bone,
You make a walkin', talking hungry clone.
No, a hungry clone hardly is a baby,
'Cause a hungry clone's "born" full-blown.
One guy who made life
Gave Karloff a wife, a "honey" clone.

Well, the first time you cloned a honeybee,
But it had killer genes and it stung liberally.
So back to the lab after your wounds cured--
Next project: to clone a little bird
Then "Frere Jacques" rounds you and the bird did sing,
But its throat went bad from your gene-splicing.
You were undeterred--you got a zygote
And you cloned a goat.

It's a hungry clone and it's always grazin',
Eating you out of house and home.
It eats your hankies, hairpiece, peas, and precious stones;
You got an eatin', bleatin' hungry clone.
It's a hungry clone and it's always grazin',
Eating you out of house and home.
And it caused some strife
When it ate your wife,
The hungry clone.

Well then your scientific juices were stirred,
But you got juiced up one night and you really erred:
In the Petri dish some genes got mixed up;
Your creation was destined to sup.
It was a goat from waistline and a man from there,
And it loved to sit in then eat your chair.
All this is bad enough, but here's the worst part:
An upholstery fart.

Oh your hungry clone is not only grazin',
But your hungry clone's on the phone.
And you're in despair when you hear the dial tone
Because your clone's callin' a goat in Rome.
Then your hungry clone, it goes Zamfir* crazy,
And your hungry clone's making tones.
Then you're screamin, "Yipes!"
It's playin' pan pipes,
Your hungry clone.

*Virtuoso of the pan pipes.
