## **歌詞**

**レス・クレイプール**：

*In 1986 the University of California Davis sought two of the all-time brightest stars: Dr. Alphonse Mephesto, and Dr. Arnie Apesacrappin. Dr. Mephesto worked hard toward his thesis. His goal was to genetically duplicate the DNA structure of asparagus so that all asparagus would grow to the same girth and length, giving asparagus a much more pleasant presentation in the world's supermarket vegetable bins.

Dr. Apesacrappin's goal was to genetically create the greatest musical entertainer the world had ever seen. Dr. Apesacrappin knew that if he could assemble the right elements he could theoretically build a DNA structure that would ensure his creation of talent far surpassing the average individual.

At the time, one subject of urban myth was the story that Michael Jackson, in an effort to retain his youthful look and feminine vocal characteristics, had his testicles surgically removed, thereby making him a modern day Castrato. If such a rumor were true, Michael Jackson more than likely would have some of his semen preserved before the surgery to ensure the future of his name and lineage.

Word came back to Dr. Apesacrappin of a secret cold storage locker deep within the bowels of the UCLA research center, that not only contained four containers of frozen semen, but also held a pair of testicles - each was labeled with the name "Jack Michaelson".*

*I once heard a noise

In the night, the most sensual voice

The song of love from an angelic boy

Stuck in my head

And this is what he said

"I am gopher boy

Pondering reality

I am Gopher Boy

Who will buy my raspberries?"*

*This had to be the seed of the King of Pop. Dr. Apesacrappin was able to use his charm and chiseled gritty features to woo a young lab technician by the name of Jennifer, who of course just happened to have the proper access needed to obtain a small vial of the precious semen.

The search for the egg was a short one. Dr. Mephesto simply ran an ad in the classifieds section of an LA Music magazine. The ad read, "Wanted: Unfertilized human eggs for genetic experiment. Donors must have musical background."

With a plethora of young eager wannabe musical starlets, willing to sell their eggs, the two doctors, after rigorous auditioning, picked and purchased. Dr. Apesacrappin felt that it would be far less complicated legally if the foetus was brought to term in the womb of a non-human. He had long since secured the services of the University Volleyball Mascot: a llama by the name of Missy.

When the baby was ready, the child was removed via caesarean.

It was a healthy baby boy. He was named Kevin.*

*Kevin was a beautiful child. Dr. Apesacrappin saw to it that Kevin was trained by the best in all aspects of performing. His voice was golden and had a sweetness to it that most males lacked. He moved with grace and was able to moonwalk by the time he was three.

As Kevin grew with his talent, Dr. Apesacrappin started noticing odd developments in his physical state. When Kevin lost his baby teeth, his secondaries came in with a vengeance; they were at least twice the size as a normal adult's and the two in front stuck nearly straight out. Also as Kevin reached his eighth year, he was the same height as he was when he was four.

To top it off, he was growing hair all over and his penis was enormous, even by adult standards. It also dawned on the doctor that even through all the years of hearing Kevin singing, he rarely spoke, often choosing to communicate through various grunts and gurgles.*

*Others were noticing the changes in Kevin. Children began to tease him, they called him "Gopher Boy". One Day, a bully by the name of Big Roy started throwing bananas at him. Soon a crowd of kids were all throwing bananas. Suddenly, in a fury, Kevin rushed at Big Roy and bit three fingers off on his left hand.

Kevin was taken away and placed in the custody of the State. Dr. Apesacrappin's actions were found out, but because there was no legislation concerning the genetic construction of another human being, no criminal charges were brought forth.

The Medical Association's Board of Ethics stripped him of all his credentials and his reputation was ruined. In fact, his name became so synonymous with failure that for years to come, med students around the world were known to say in times of mishap, "damn, I feel just like Apesacrappin."

Dr. Mephesto immediately began proceedings to adopt little Kevin. Being a noted scientist and the creator of the cloned asparagus, it wasn't long before the two were legally united as father and son. They moved to Colorado, where they live in relative obscurity.

Kevin is still a boy of few spoken words, sticking mainly to his grunts and gurgles, but on occasion, if you listen closely, you can hear his sweet golden singing voice, ring out into the night, over the small town of South Park...*
