lyrics

In 2025, R.J. Featherworth and Michael Biggsborough ran a shoe shop out of Newark, but then gambled away the world's future in cloning and progressions in genetic space science and similar enterprises beyond the rings of Saturn 5! Together with help from the Gromulettes, a female doo-wop group from Oberon Delta VII, they constructed a new race of beings, taking genetics from fans, friends, and relatives. Birthed from ovalian space capsules, out came the smiling Budget Babies, ready for a new dawn of growth and mega-challenges. Working as one, their thousands of identical fingers built a Star Railway to the sky, and subsequently cloned it. They initially developed a region which they called "Myspace," but soon progressed into new and dangerous territories...

Scannin' the stars! Venus and Mars!
Budget Babies! Budget Babies!

Zest and vim colored the optimistic smiles of the Budget Babies as the Star Railway barreled its glittering cars through the heavens. The future glistened with a juicy sheen of promise: the promise of a new home, a home free from persecution, unjust laws, and parties ruined by malicious noogies!

They found a home! A home they could clone!
Now they're original duplications!

They went to space and found their own place!
They rode their rails cross the galaxy's face!

For forty weeks and weekends, the Budget Babies combed the night sky, rummaging through star clusters and sifting through accretion disks. The journey was difficult, morale was strained, and doubts plagued the minds of the Clone Clan Council.
Would the Star Railway take them to a habitable world? Would the Clone Clan escape the proverbial talons of extinction? Would the dining car run out of spicy mustard? The answer to these and many more questions turned out to be...yes!
