CROTCH RAY! YOU DONT HAVE TO PUT ON THE GREEN LIGHT! CROTCH RAY! YOU HAVE SEND YOUR LASER BEAMS INTO THE NIGHT!
Ugh now I have Crotch Ray stuck in my head
Crotch ray!
You don't have to blind those pilots tonight!
Shoot the planes for funnies,
You don't care if it's wrong or ifs it's right.

Dusts off hands
