Serious Fun
Phineas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo...)

Get out your tool case,
Put on your game face.
Get out your brushes - gonna paint this town.
Let's just get rockin',
No time for talkin'.
Just fourteen hours 'till the sun goes down.

We've got one last day of summer,
One more day before school has begun.
One last day in the sun,
Let's have some serious fun!

(Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo...)

Every day of summer,
We've given a hundred percent.
But today, we'll give a hundred and one.
Baljeet: But that is not mathematically possible...
Phineas: You know what we mean!
Baljeet: Yes, I understand: hyperbole.

(Doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo...)

We set a precedent
For entertainment -
We're doin' somethin' and it's gonna be big.
Put on your glad rags and pack a lunch bag.
No, somethin' smaller - not that sucklin' pig.

We've got one last day of summer,
One more day before school has begun.
We've got one last day in the sun,
Let's have some serious fun!
(Let's have some serious fun...)
Let's have some serious fun!
(Let's have some serious fun...)
Let's have some serious fun!
(Let's have some serious fun...)





(Ooohh, yeeaaahh...!)
