He’s upset!
Artie’s feeling so odd,
As the shape of his bod
Back and forth it goes!

You can bet
That he’s feeling dismay,
‘Cause his junk’s on display!
He’ll be needing clothes!

When Helen’s lips are pressed
Against yours, it’s best
To have humanity!
So go and … buy some pants for Ar-tie!

Dave still has to be reminded that he’s knee-deep in unbridled euphoria. He’s that sort of person.

Now ev’ry time I hiccup, my body keeps changing shape!
One minute I’m a rodent and the next I’m a big plains ape!
I’m feeling a great unease,
And now I’m begging on my fuzzy knees!
You’ve got to … help me, Helen!
Stabilize my phenotype, please!

CHORUS:
(*hic*hic*hic*hic*hic*hic*hic*)
Help me, Helen!  Help, help me Helen!
Help me, Helen!  Help, help me Helen!
Artie’s yellin’, “Help, help me Helen!
Body’s swellin’!  Help, help me Helen!
Feel unwell, an’ help!  Help me, Helen!
Stuck with Mell, an’ help!  Help me, Helen!
Help me, Helen, please,
‘Cause I’m stuck in a chair!”

Now Helen says, “I understand, just leave it all to me!
I’m go discuss it now with Dave in Cell 2B!
It’s the one with the padded walls …
And by the way, Mell, hold all calls!
I’m gonna … help you, Artie,
Help you in an hour or three!”
    (repeat CHORUS)
