"It Takes a Woman" from Hello, Dolly!  music by J. Herman (?)
is now "It Takes a Demon"

It takes a demon, all anxious and kind
To get fetal harvest on Fox Mulder's mind
And it takes some evil (with Bruce Campbell's assets)
To lie about murders -- gee Wayne has such facets.

(chorus)
It takes a demon, a charming demon
Who wants kids without horns and tails
Oh yes it takes a demon, a focused demon
To create all Laura's travails.

The Sainted Scully, who's stuck in DC
On interview duty, just where she should be
Gets a call from Mulder who has charts to send her
He needs some assistance and laughs about Spender.

(chorus)

And so Wayne wants a normal ultrasound
But bony growths are always found
Satanic genes just will tell...

But hold on, Betsy's got plans he don't like
For bearing and raising her own devil tyke
She outevils evil - tricks Scully and Mulder
Drives off in old Wayne's car, with Junior beside her.

(chorus)

Well it takes a demon, a tricky demon
To give us a "plot twist," my friend
Oh yes it takes a demon, a female demon
To get what she wants in the end.
