Send In the Clones

(To the tune of 'Send in The Clowns’)

Why aren’t we rich, we made a pair? 
Looking at me on the ground, 
While still standing there 
Send in the clones. 

Isn't it bliss, don't you approve? 
I’ve got some new DNA 
Who cares if we’re sued? 
Where are the clones? 
Send in the clones. 

The government says that they don’t agree, 
Still checks from the FDA come directly to me 

Making a person again, changing their hair, 
A face without lines; 
Just a little repair. 

Don't you love sham? 
A slight travesty, 
I thought that you'd want what I want, 
Stem Cell mockery 
But where are the clones 
There ought to be clones 
Quick send in the clones 

What a surprise! 
Who could foresee 
I thought I was so unique 
Now thirty of me! 
Why only now can I see 
That you've drifted away? 
I’ve doubled life on this earth 
In one single day 
Why aren’t we rich, we made twelve pair? 
I see myself all around 
Just look over there and there and there 
And where are the clones 
Quick send in the clones 
Don't bother, they're here.
