We come from far Andromeda, a distant galaxy
We've travelled twenty billion leagues across a starless sea
We've come here to eradicate all of humanity
We are invincible!

CHORUS
Power, power to amoebas
Power, power to amoebas
Power, power to amoebas
Destroy humanity!

We will whisk them with our egg beater and beat them to a froth
We will scatter their intestines over all the tents of Goth
They will quiver in their bed-socks when they feel our alien wrath
We are invincible!

CHORUS

We'll ambush with our hairdryer and blow them all away
We'll stomp on all the pieces, then we'll pound them into clay
And then we'll dig them up again and throw them all away
We are invincible!

CHORUS

We will steam on with our iron and we'll flatten all our foes
When they taste our mettle, they won't resist our blows
We are just the greatest -- everybody knows:
We are invincible!

CHORUS

We'll bring on our secret weapon - it's designed by R&D
They've raided grandma's kitchen and they've got the cutlery
When you see our toaster, then it's time to turn and flee
We are invincible!

CHORUS
Power, power to amoebas!
Power, power to amoebas!
Power, power to amoebas!
Destroy humanity!
