Faster than an animal rights petition in circulation!
More powerful than soy protein!
Able to leap tall blocks of tofu in a single bound!
It's Veggie Girl, the original vegetarian superhero.
Travelling the world to educate the people
on the cruelties of meat.
This girl can stir-fry snow peas like nobody's business
with her magic wok
She makes the bitchinest ratatoulie you ever tasted
And bakes stuffed squashes for all
in place of the traditional Thanksgiving turkey
Liberating animals from the slaughterhouse in the blink of an eye
before the meat industry knows what hit ‘em.
"RUN, BE FREE LITTLE CRITTERS!
ESCAPE FROM THE HELLHOLE OF YOUR CAGES!!"
Shuttin' down fast food joints
with one swoop of her carrot wand
Saving the people's cholesterol and the animals' lives
Fighting her nemesis
the eeevil Ronald McDonald
That deranged clown doesn't stand a chance
As she attacks his Fortress of Grease
The Golden Arches come crashing down,
with chicken McNuggets
exploding everywhere.
Decked out in pleather
and faux fur
Not only making a statement,
But lookin' damn good, too!
I am fabulous, compassionate, cool,
PETA's poster child
Saving the Earth one bean at a time,
I..AM....VEGGIE GIRL!!!

thought it would be kind of cool to make up a vegetarian superhero as an
alter-ego."
