Set-up[]
[On the Satellite of Love]
Tom Servo: No! Down! Down, you rabble! Down!
Mike Nelson: Hey, what's wrong Tom?
Tom Servo: Oh, nothing. The whole raising killer bees thing got me going on my own venture here, raising wood ticks for a living. But now they're hungry and I don't know what to feed them.
Crow T. Robot: Hey, Mike! Have you seen my lice farm?
Mike Nelson: Oh, never mind about that. There's something doing down on Earth.
Lyrics[]
[In Castle Forrester]
BRAIN GUY
I am leaving with my buddies
No more smelly dumb gorillas
No more yelling, shrewish women
I must go
I'm departing with my kinsmen
To the planet where I come from
Even if it means destroying
All I know
PEARL and BOBO
Please stay
We are your friends
Though our brains are not in pans
PEARL
Please stay
BOBO
We'll give you juice
PEARL and BOBO
If you'll only take our hands
BOBO
Or take my paw
BRAIN GUY
Can you give me any reason
Why I shouldn't up and leave you?
And blast your silly planet
When I go?
PEARL
There are several million reasons
BOBO
Though there's none that I can think of
PEARL
There are several million reasons
PEARL and BOBO
Here we go
Brain Guy: Okay.
BOBO
There's meat
PEARL
And we've got string
BOBO
And tortillas stuffed with ham
PEARL
If you'll stay [BOBO: If you'll stay]
I'll fold your sheets [BOBO: She'll fold your sheets]
BOBO
If you just stay where you am
BRAIN GUY
All these reasons you have given me
Have totally convinced me
I really can't be going
I must stay
PEARL | BRAIN GUY | BOBO |
---|---|---|
The reasons we have given him | You've got meat | There are sausages and carrots |
Have totally convinced him | and you've got string | (continues rattling off items) |
He really can't be going | and tortillas | |
He will stay | stuffed with ham! | |
We have several million reasons | If I stay | |
Why you really can't be leaving | She'll fold my sheets | |
And it's very really truly | If I just stay | |
As you say | where I am! | |
He will stay! | I will stay! | He will stay! |
Banana bread and butter rum and caramel and... |
[Brain Guy slams his trunk shut on Bobo's paw.]
Professor Bobo: Aah! My paw! Oh, mommy!
Brain Guy: Sorry...
