English[edit]
Act 1[edit]
Come-BACK? Hmph - were you ever a THING, Rayman?
Now! For the millions watching, are you ready for my rant?
Rayman is a gangly goofy brainless hopeless eggplant!
Leave it all to me...
you're a setting star no one will see!
Small surprise you'd get eclipsed in the Rabbid's company!
Even your friendship withGlobox gets weaker
He needs to detox from your stinky sneaker!
Your punch is weak...
Weak! Weak!
And your glide makes me sick...
Sick! Sick!
Must be nice to beMr. Dark
Going to sleep with nothing on your mind!
A flash in the pan, second fiddle to the Rabbids...
Raymaaaaan!
Act 3[edit]
Beep-0... My old pal, so to say
Spare me your insight 'cause you're never ever right!
You'd be keener to be a vacuum cleaner
You truly look like one, you talk and kill the fun
Heroes? You're copycats, you're zeroes!
I can't take it anymore
I'm sick of the lousy four
Theeggplant, thesocialite, theweakling, and thebore...
You'll never replace me...
I'm the one the public adore!
