He was an extraordinary boy with radical fashion flair
And high school girls would swoon at his animatic hair
In eighth grade tables turned and cats jumped out of bags
That caterpillar spread its wings and lost its legs, yeah
When he heard that voice call him down
He looked up to the sky and began to twirl around
And the whole town shouted out
Today’s the day, today’s the day
That Tykie’s coming out
Today’s the day, today’s the day
Stand back he’s coming out
Today’s the day, today’s the day
And he’s here to stay
Wood splinters flying ‘round in that carnage of those closet doors
A daring spectacle not seen before
Walking in the school halls in a dazzling array of rainbow light
Trumpets sounding out and he was stepping ‘aight
When he heard that voice call him down
He felt the tremors shaking in his ground
And the whole town shouted out
Today’s the day, today’s the day
That Tykie’s coming out
Today’s the day, today’s the day
Stand back he’s coming out
Today’s the day, today’s the day
And he’s here to stay
Caterpillar spread his wing and lost his legs
Oh my god
That caterpillar spread his wings and lost his legs
Oh my god
That caterpillar spread his wings and lost his legs
Oh my god
Caterpillar spread his wings and lost his legs
When he heard that voice call him down
He felt the tremors shaking in his ground
And the whole town shouted out
Today’s the day, today’s the day
That Tykie’s coming out (He’s comin’ out)
Today’s the day, today’s the day
Stand back he’s coming out (woah, woah, woah)
Today’s the day, today’s the day
That Tykie’s coming out (He’s comin’ out)
Today’s the day, today’s the day
And he’s here to stay (He’s here to stay)
And he’s here to stay (He’s here to stay)
He’s here to stay (Oh, oh yeah)
He ain’t going nowhere (He ain’t going nowhere)
He don’t care (And he don’t care)
What you say (What you say)
He’s here to stay
