You call me "Moss Piglet,"
you think I’m cute,
Walking on eight legs in a chubby little suit.
I’ve got claws like a bear,
but I’m smaller than a dot,
Ruling the lichen, yeah, that’s my spot.
But don't let the size fool your simple giant brain,
I’m built for the fire and the frozen plain.
I rule a tiny droplet,
I don't need a lake,
I can handle every pressure that the world can make.
Chorus:
Go ahead and freeze me! (I don't care.)
Go ahead and boil me! (I'm still there.)
I am the Water Bear, the king of the extreme,
Living out a microscopic, indestructible dream.
Space is a vacation, radiation is a breeze,
I bring the toughest danger down to its knees.
I don’t need a spacesuit, I don’t need a tank,
I shrug off rays that make the sensors go blank.
Blast me into orbit, open up the door,
I’ll float in the vacuum and ask for a little more.
Six times the pressure of the deepest sea?
That’s just a heavy blanket, it feels fine to me.
High heat, deep cold, or a cosmic ray,
I’m the only one standing at the end of the day.
Bridge:
Wait. Water’s gone? I’ll sleep for thirty years until the break of dawn.
I curl into a ball. I’m called a "Tun."
I dry myself out like a raisin in the sun.
My metabolism stops. Zero point zero one.
...Just add water. I’m back.
Chorus
Outro:
In the ice.
In the heat.
I’m the one You can’t beat.
Anywhere. Everywhere.
Water Bear. King of Extreme.
