Mighty's Rap:
"Alright – 3BM! 2008 Reunion Tour. Here we go...
Now you might say "Mighty, you're looking mighty less muscular,
where the cape? aren't you going to save the day?
You've gone from superhero to hustler.
But look, here's the rub:
Warner's Association for Exceptional Rodents
tests for drugs.
And I failed badly,
drowning in the irony,
I was this close to becoming
the first mouse in the Justice League.
Instead, I became a has-been
started drinking vanilla extract & Ovaltine.
Until one morning with the D.T.s
staring into a bare void
I heard a fair voice
telling me to give up the steroids.
So I did what it spake
had to retire the cape.
And growing old, skinny and blind might not sound too rad,
but to me being clean was better than an accidental boob grab.
Once I kicked the growth hormone
my voice started sounding more normal!
So all you Mary, Mary, quite contraries – step off
and give it up for my main mouse, Jerry!"
