Groovy Girl Presents Earthworm Jim's Groovy Place to Be

Oh, young Earthworm Jim is come out of the ground
And Peter, his sidekick, escaped from the pound.
Except for his ray gun, the worm was unarmed
In his quest so the universe wouldn't be harmed.
He shines like a light in a universe dim;
There never was hero like young Earthworm Jim.

He stopped not for lunch, though his stomach did rumble
And off of his rocket the worm ne'er did tumble.
At the Princess's house he arrived for a date
Where he met the scourge Psy-Crow, a villain we hate.
"Ha-ha, you lose, wormboy!" he sneered in his face,
"When I marry the Princess, I'll run this whole place!"

"You've gotta be kidding!" said the worm to the crow,
And into the palace he boldly did go.
Then spoke the bride's sister, so ugly, so evil,
"What are you doing here, you insolent weevil?
Psy-Crow's her husband, a job he adores:
Wealth, power, and discounts at all the best stores."

"I long wooed your sister, and it sure wasn't easy;
At my jokes she laughed not, my love songs made her queasy.
I'm not giving up after all this hard work."
"Yeah," added Peter, "So there, you big jerk!"
"Are you finished?" sighed Prof.,"We've a schedule to keep."
"Do something!" yelled Peter,"Or she'll marry that creep!"

Prof saw that the puppy just might cause some trouble.
"Bob, Evil, Major-seize him on the double!"
Meanwhile,Jim found the unwilling bride;
Though she looked calm, she was screaming inside.
"One last dance," stated Jim,"Would help lessen her fear."
"Well, hurry," said Psy-Crow,"The wedding draws near."

"At this prospect," said Queenie,"I'm sure you are thrilled.
But when you're done dancing,prepare to be killed!"
She thought that was funny; Jim didn't agree.
But if that's what it took, that's the way it would be.
How stalwart the worm when so certain his doom,
While the bad guys chased Peter around the whole room.

Jim took his love’s hand, and they started to dance.
Yes, even the Princess could feel this romance.
Just when it looked like she might shed a tear, Jim whispered,
“Hang on, I’ll get you outta here.
When you say code word ‘what’, we’ll escape-that’s the plan.”
“Say what?” she inquired; Jim grabbed her and ran.

Our hero dashed forward and saved Peter Pup,
Leaped onto the rocket and fired it up.
“After them!” squawked out Psy-crow, and the villains gave chase.
He was sure they would beat the worm in this last race.
Though they searched long and hard, it was truly in vain,
For they wouldn’t soon see the earthworm again.

“She is won! We are gone! Past rocks, planets, and moons,
I bet that creep Psy-Crow will not be back soon.
That’ll learn ‘em,” Jim finished, laughing aloud.
Peter yipped his agreement, and the Princess was proud.
Of this beacon of light in a universe dim;
Have you e’er heard of hero like young Earthworm Jim?
