Sarah is not an exact clone, mind you, or she would be male. But everything
else is the same. Her DNA was altered slightly during the finalizing
process.

Oh, give me a clone
Of my own flesh and bone
With the Y-chromosome changed to X
And when it is grown
Then my own little clone
Will be of the opposite sex.
(Chorus)
Clone, clone of my own,
With the Y chromosome changed to X.
And when we're alone,
Since her mind is my own,
She'll be thinking of nothing but sex.
