I Think You're Swell
Victorious Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think you're swell
I think you're swell
I think you're swell
I think you're swell
You're the nugget in my ChickenMc
The peanuts in my butter
Adding fiber to our diets
Beneficial for each other
You're a piece of dental floss and I am the teeth
You're Aretha Franklin, I'm r-e-s-p-e-c-t
You're baby giraffe and I'm and a safety ranger
You're the father and ghost, I'm baby Jesus in the manger
Our love spans 40 acres, filled with apple trees
You're Thanksgiving, I'm the turkey
You're Akeelah, I'm the bee
You're a guitar, I'm the strings like a Jet ski in the water
You're New York, I'm the buildings
You're my mother, I'm your father
And I think you're swell.

I think you're swell
I think you're swell.

If you're Bobby I'll be Whitney
If you're Method I'll be Redman
If you're Carrie I'm Samantha
If you're Oprah I'll be Stedman.
If you're Leia I'm Han Solo
If you're Warbuks I'll be Annie
If you're puff the magic dragon I'll be Peter, Paul, and Mary.
I love you like a Cops marathon on TV,
I love you more than the original star wars trilogy
I am the walrus, you are the goo goo gajoo
I'm a whole lot of nothing, you are the much ado
When I say I'm in love it's more than any love has meant
And if we ever go jogging I'll be your antiperspirant
And I think you're swell.

I think you're swell
I think you're swell

And everyday when you're walking down the street
Is like every other day because you're constantly walking down the street
And everyday I'm only thinking about you
And a bunch of other important things, but primarily you
And that's true
'Cause I think you're swell
I think you're swell

I think you're swell
I think you're swell

I'll be the Jagger to your Richards
The Captain Kirk to your Picard
If you're a molten lava room I'll be the one inept guard
You're the tofu to my hippie the words in my dictionary
If you're sporty and ginger I'll be baby posh and scary
We go together like pastrami on rye
Like watching Titanic and trying not to cry
You're in my mind like a song
You're in my head like a zombie
You're more fun than Frisbee in the park
Or popping edamame.
We go together like a parade and confetti
And later if you're hungry I'll make you some spaghetti
And I think you're swell





I think you're swell
I think you're swell

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “I Think You’re Swell” by Victorious Cast aptly describe the feeling of being in love with someone. It is a fun and quirky song that celebrates the unique qualities of two individuals who complement each other. The song starts with four repetitions of “I think you’re swell” which immediately sets the tone as a love song. The song compares the couple’s relationship to various things that are complementary to each other like the “nugget in my ChickenMc” and “peanuts in my butter” or “adding fiber to our diets”. The song also mentions the differences between the couple like “You’re Aretha Franklin, I’m r-e-s-p-e-c-t” and “You’re New York, I’m the buildings.” The differences are not seen as a negative aspect of the relationship, but instead as a way of complementing each other.


The song also shows the commitment of the singer towards the other person. They are willing to be the “antiperspirant” when they go jogging and be the Captain Kirk to your Picard. The last two stanzas of the song show a sense of togetherness as if the couple is dancing to the same beat or joining a parade. The song celebrates love and togetherness in a fun and quirky way that brings a smile to the face of the listener.
