I love myself
And you should love me, too,
For I am a beauty queen
On the planet Ru.
My bazooms are real-
A fun size Double D:
My olive highlights natural-
There's nothing fake about me.
My eighteen eyes are blue-
My tentacles, long and lean.
My skin is perfectly tanned
A shade you Earthlings call grass green.
My mother says I'm lovelier
Than a twinklin' star
And that, when it comes to beauty,
I have set the Ruan bar!
