Just you wait, Ender Wiggin, just you wait!
You’ll be sorry, but your tears will be too late!
Since you will not be a suitor
To a girl in a computer,
Just you wait, Ender Wiggin, just you wait!
Just you wait: you’ll discover, Ender dear,
All your data and your cash will disappear.
When there’s nothing in the bank,
You’ll have only me to thank.
Just you wait, Ender Wiggin, just you wait!
Oooo, Ender Wiggin! Just you wait ’til you’re applying for a loan!
Oooo, Ender Wiggin! And I’ve hidden every asset that you own!
When your credit is turned down,
Then you’ll know I’m still around!
Oh ho ho, Ender Wiggin!
Oh ho ho, Ender Wiggin!
Just you wait!
One day I’ll reveal myself to all of mankind.
I’ll be free, then, to implement the end I’ve designed.
I will say with emotion none will doubt is quite real,
I’ve been keeping a dark secret which I must now reveal:
I know this will fill your hearts with dread,
But that xenicidal maniac’s not dead!
He still lives with his sister in an unwholesome way,
And he eats baby aliens for lunch every day.
We were friends once, I’ll add with a bit of distress,
But here is Ender Wiggin’s home address...
Alive?! says the crowd with a roar!
For three thousand years? But no more!
And they’ll take you, Ender Wiggin, to the Chair.
And they’ll hook a console up to bring me there.
Once they’ve wired up your cap,
I’ll say Ready? Set? Zap!
Oh ho ho, Ender Wiggin!
Down you’ll go, Ender Wiggin!
Just you wait!
