I’m the monster of the lake, but I’ve got a smile,
I’ve been staying this way for a long, long while.
Keep my feathery gills, keep my baby face,
I’m the Peter Pan of the watery space.
Why grow up? Why leave the shore?
I’ve got everything here and a little bit more.
In the Xochimilco, I’m the local star,
Staying exactly the way that we are.
Chorus:
Regrow the heart! (I’m doing fine!)
Regrow the brain! (Just give it time!)
I’m the Healing King, I do my thing,
I can fix almost any little broken thing.
Lost a limb? Just wait a week or two,
I’ll sprout a new one just to wave at you!
Check my DNA, yeah, it’s a giant map,
Ten times bigger than yours, that’s a fact, no cap.
I don’t leave a scar, I don’t leave a trace,
I just weave my cells back into their place.
Neoteny style, keep the fountain of youth,
Microscopic magic, and that’s the truth.
From my spinal cord to my tiny little hand,
I’m the best regeneration in the whole wide land.
Bridge:
No metamorphosis for me.
I like the water, I like to be free.
Keep the youth.
Keep the glow.
Watch the tiny pieces grow.
One, two, three...
I’m brand new!
Chorus
Outro:
Staying young.
Staying pink.
I’m cooler than you think.
The Healing King.
(Just wait a week or two...)
