Lyrics:
 High above the mucky-muck Castle made of cloud There sits Wonderboy Sitting oh-so-proudly.
 Not much to say When you're high above the mucky-muck... Yeaaauh! Yeuh! WonderBooyeee! 
What is the secret of your powers?! WonderBoooyeeeee! Won't you take me far away
 from the mucky-muck, man? Well now it's time for me to tell you about Young Nastyman
 Who is the arch-rival and nemesis of Wonderboy With powers *comparable* to WONDERBOY! 
What kind of powers? you may ask? Oh I dunno.. how about the power of flight, that do 
anything for you? How about the power of telekenesis? ...How about the power to move *you*? 
History of Wonderboy and Young Nastyman... Rigga Goo-goo-, Rigga Riga Goo-goo
 A secret to be told A gold chest- to be bold! Blasting forth with three-part harmony!
 Yeah! Well Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces And they formeda band 
The likes of which have never been seen in Valhalla! And they call themselves 
TEnacious D That's right- ME! and KG! TenaAaaaaaaaAacious D! Come fly with me!
