Back in Business
[Cast] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you're probably expecting some tragic backstory
To explain why I want to reverse the rotation of the Earth.
But I'm not gonna go there, ya know why? Well I'll tell ya.
Back in Gimmelschtump
I always had to keep it real
Cause when you grow up in Gimmelshtump
Your childhood is less than ideal!
So I don't dwell on how I'll crawled my way out of the gutter
No I don't!
When people ask me what I mean, I say
D-D-D-Do I stutter!

But I'm no longer a hater
Cause I got an Inator
And an over-complicated scheme
I get a couple of checks
Every month from my Ex
So I can finance my coming regime!

And though my past was a wreck
I won't let it affect
My aspirations to cause mass hysteria
Cause I'm as sure as can be




That it's my destiny
To be the ruler of the Tri-State Area!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of [Cast]'s song "Back in Business" from the show Phineas and Ferb, provides a glimpse into the mindset of a character named Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. He begins by addressing the listener's expectations of a tragic backstory to explain his desire to reverse the rotation of the Earth. However, he refuses to go into that and instead reveals that growing up in Gimmelschtump was far from ideal and that his childhood experiences there were the reason for his need to keep it real. This suggests that his troubled past in Gimmelschtump has shaped his current perspective on life.


He then asserts that he doesn't dwell on how he crawled his way out of the gutter, implying that he has managed to overcome his difficult upbringing. When people question his intentions, he confidently states, "D-D-D-Do I stutter?" indicating that he won't be deterred or doubted. Despite his past being a wreck, he refuses to let it affect his aspirations of causing mass hysteria and gaining control over the Tri-State Area. He believes that it is his destiny to become the ruler of that region.
