Perry the Platypus (song)

Perry the Platypus is the theme song to Agent P as he is doing his missions to stop Dr. Doofenshmirtz. The song was first sung fully at the end of the first episode, "Rollercoaster", and since then, small parts of the song (mainly "dooby dooby doo-ba") have been sung on Perry's missions.

Lyrics
Note: The song was extended in the episode "One Good Scare Ought To Do It!", which originally appeared on the first DVD, to include the full lyrics:

Backing scat: (Dooby dooby doo-ba, dooby dooby doo-ba, dooby dooby doo-ba, dooby dooby doo-ba) Female Singer: Perry!

Male Singer: He's a semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action Backing scat: (Dooby dooby doo-ba, dooby dooby doo-ba) Male Singer: He's a furry little flatfoot, who'll never flinch from a fray! He's got more than just mad skill Female Singer: (Wah-ah-ah) Male Singer: He's got a beaver tail and a bill Female Singer: (ah-ah) Male Singer: And the women swoon whenever they hear him say: Perry: (chatters) (Fainting sighs from women) Male Singer: He's Perry, Perry the Platypus!

(Extension) Major Monogram:  But you can call him Agent P. Male Singer: Perry- Major Monogram: I said you can call him Agent P. All Singers: Agent P!

Perry the Teenage Girl
The song was altered in the episode "Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?", where Candace switches bodies with Perry, and played during the credits:

Female Singer: She's a semi-neurotic, teenage girl of action Backing scat: (Dooby dooby doo-ba, dooby dooby doo-ba) Female Singer: She's a feisty little redhead with a platypus' brain You best leave her alone, She's playing MP3s on her phone And whenever she's around, you can hear the bad guys say: Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Great, now I have this song stuck in my head! Female Singer: She's Perry, Perry the teenage girl!

Background Information

 * The line "furry little flatfoot" has a double meaning. The first is slang for a police officer. The second traces back to the common name for the platypus: a Latin combination of Greek words πλατύς ("platys", flat, broad) and πους ("pous", foot), meaning "flat foot".
