Animatin’ Rap Lyrics by Phineas and Ferb

2011

[Dan Povenmire]
Yeah, we're animators
This is how we live
24/7, 365
[Jeff "Swampy" Marsh]
Actually, it's more of a 40-hour workweek
[Dan Povenmire]
Yeah, but sometimes we work weekends
And sometimes I even take my sketchbook on vacation
Check it!
[Verse 1: Dan Povenmire, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh]
I roll into the Mouse House, 9 AM
Flash my badge to security, they know who I am
Breakfast at the commissary: a bagel and honey!
Then it's time to get serious and make with the funny
[Chorus]
'Cause we're animatin', that's right, we're animatin'
We're makin' Phineas and Ferb, yeah, we're animatin'
[Verse 1: Dan Povenmire, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, Both]
We start with a premise, just a page and a half
We pitch it in the writers' room to see if we laugh
Then we check on the executive's esprit de corps
She says: "yeah, we're going to outline". That's just one page more!
Now a lot of productions go to script from here
But not us, (oh no) we got no fear
We're goin' straight to boards 'cause we draw it when we write it
It's a visual show and we don't try to fight it!
[Chorus]
'Cause we're animatin', that's right, we're animatin'
We're makin' Phineas and Ferb, yeah, we're animatin'
[Verse 2: Dan Povenmire, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, Both]
When we're done with the boards we pitch it to the whole crew
To see if they giggle too or if they just throw food
Sometimes it's funny, funny stuff, sometimes it's barely amusin'
So we rewrite it again, it's all pickin' and choosin'
All the good stuff here and all the bad stuff there
(Hey, I worked hard on that!) Hey, call somebody who cares!
'Cause it's a cutthroat, live drawin' boards and pitchin'
If you can't stand the heat...STAY OUTTA THE KITCHEN!
[Chorus]
'Cause we're animatin', (yeah) that's right, we're animatin' (yeah)
We're makin' Phineas and Ferb, yeah, we're animatin'
[Verse 3: Dan Povenmire, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, Both]
In the sound studio, recordin' all of the voices
We get three takes of everything, it's all about choices
Then we digitize it all, technology so groovy
Put it in the animatic and make it a movie
We draw props, characters, backgrounds, too
Throw in a dash of colour (does that look good to you?)
(Yeah!)
Then it goes to timing, little secret in the biz
Ask anyone here, nobody knows what that is (What?!)
Then after timing it goes straight on to checkin'
And that's how we roll. 24 frames a second!
[Chorus]
'Cause we're animatin', (yeah) that's right, we're animatin' (yeah)
We're makin' Phineas and Ferb, yeah, we're animatin'
You know we're animatin', (yeah) that's right, we're animatin' (yeah)
We got an artist named Herb, you know he's animatin'
[Verse 4: Dan Povenmire, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, Both]
Ship the whole mess overseas where they in between it
And all of this goes on before you've ever even seen it
When it's back it goes to editing, we pull an all-nighter
Gotta respect the schedule, but nobody cuts it tighter!
We call retakes (a lot) 'cause mistakes need fixin'
Then it's music and sound effects and audio mixin'!
[Chorus]
'Cause we're animatin', (yeah) that's right, we're animatin' (yeah)
We're makin' Phineas and Ferb, yeah, we're animatin'
I said we're animatin', (yeah) that's right, we're animatin' (yeah)
Are we gettin' on your nerves? No, we're just animatin'
[Dan Povenmire]
Word
So that's just how we do it. Are there any questions?
[Jeff "Swampy" Marsh]
If there are, keep 'em to yourself!
[Dan Povenmire]
I didn't think so
