**"Space Age Bachelor Man"** is the ninth song featured in *Ride the Cyclone*, as Ricky's song.

## Lyrics

**Ricky:**

You might see before you

An ordinary man

Ha!

An earthly illusion

All a part of the cosmic plan!

Yes, long ago, they visited

Those others from outer space

Informed me I'm the chosen one to save the Zolarian race!

It's true, listen

**Noel/Mischa:**

Ricky, we are a distant galaxy

A galaxy great in need

Of your groove, your kink-o-matic powers

Yes we need your freak-tastic seed

**Ricky:**

They took me then, to their daughters' realm, the land of the Kitty Cat Star

I know you've heard the legends of

**Ricky/Choir:**

*The sexy cat women from Zolar!*

**[*Cat noises*]**

**Constance/Jane/Ocean:**

Meow

Meow

**Constance:**

Make love to me, Ricky!

**Ricky:**

What?

**Constance/Jane/Ocean:**

Meow

Meow

**Ricky:**

Okay

**Ocean:**

But there's one more small thing

Won't you please help save our galaxy,

**Constance/Ocean:**

Ricky?

**Ricky:**

Sure

What would you do in my place?

A mere mortal man?

With the fate of a galaxy before you?

Millions of lives in your hand?

The naughty daughters

Of the realm

All hungry

For my chi

You'd never guess

The role I played

In Zolarian history!

I'm just a swingin'

**Choir:**

Ah

**Ricky:**

Space age

*Bachelor man*

Let's dance, kitties

**[*Instrumental*]**

**[*Meowing*]**

**Constance/Jane/Ocean/Ricky:**

*Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!*

**Ricky [*spoken*]:**

It gets weird now

**Noel/Mischa:**

Ricky, you've lain with our daughters

You're our hero, our saving grace

But now there is a new challange

For Zolaria to face. . .

**Ricky:**

For they're at war with K-9

**Noel/Mischa:**

Ah

**Ricky:**

Count Dog-u-lous,

**Ricky/Choir:**

That son of a bitch!

**Ricky:**

The generals are all standng by

**Choir:**

Tell us, Ricky, should we pull the switch?

**Constance/Jane/Ocean:**

Meow

Meow

**Ricky [*spoken*]:**

Oh my goodness, what have I gotten myself into?

**Constance/Ocean:**

Meow

Meow

**Ricky [*spoken*]:**

Why are they asking me? I’m a lover, not a fighter! I thought I told them,

**Ricky:**

I'm just a swingin'

**Choir:**

Ah

**Ricky:**

Space age. . .

**Choir:**

Ah, ah

**Ricky:**

*Bachelor man*!

So I told them

"I am just a man, a space age man, that's all I am

But I wanna hold your hands--*all* your hands, as we make love tonight

Oh, I have no desire

To rule the galaxy

Oh to hold you close, is enough for me

Making love

In zero gravity-y-y-y!"

Woah!

Hey!

**Choir:**

Makin' love

Makin' love

Makin' love of just love Zolar!

**Ricky:**

Zolar! Woo!

**Choir:**

Makin' love

Makin' love

Makin' love of just love Zolar!

**Ricky:**

Uh!

I've got to

I've got to make

You're my catnip

You're the most-

You're such a pretty, gritty kitty

I wanna be

Your scra-hatchin' post

Let me be

Let me be

Let me be

**Choir:**

Makin' love

Makin' love

Makin' love of just love. . .!

**Ricky:**

And they listened. And they heard my message, for I was singing notes that only cats or cat people could hear. A G#, 5 octaves above middle C Incredible. Peace was restored.

I guess that’s what happens when you're a swingin'

**Choir:**

Ah

**Ricky:**

Space age. . .

**Choir:**

*Ah, ah*

**Ricky:**

Bachelor man!

So I came back to Earth

To show you the way

To lead you pretty people

To a brighter day

We can save the whole galaxy

With love from the heart!

And sexy cat ladies

That's, that's, that's

Where we'll start!

Yes, I came back to this rock!

With my love and my seed!

Ladies, you got what I want

And you know I've got what you need

Cause I'm a swinging!

**Choir:**

Ah

**Ricky:**

Space age!

**Choir:**

*Ah, ah*

**Ricky:**

Ba-ba-ba-ba-bachelor man!

**Choir:**

Bachelor man!

Meow!
