Just…you…wait, P.G. Barnett, just you wait —
You will be impressed when I communicate
All your fans will be in awe
When I begin to wave a paw
Just you wait P.G., as I gesticulate!

Just you wait, P.G. Barnett, just you wait!
You will wish you hadn’t challenged me of late
I will steal away your fans
Their claps heard throughout the lands
Just you wait, P.G. Barnett — just you wait!

Just you wait, P.G. Barnett, just you wait!
As my hard-earned pennies do accumulate
I’ll be richer than Madonna
Drinking champagne in a sauna
Just you wait, P.G. Barnett, just you wait!

Just you wait, P.G. Barnett, just you wait!
My dare to you, my gauntlet thrown: Enunciate
Sing these lyrics out on YouTube
(No fair claiming you’re a Tube n00b!)
Just you wait, P.G. Barnett, just you wait!

Just you wait, P.G. Barnett, just you wait!
Just know this: If you procrastinate,
Sixteen…
