Best LIVE Tour Ever! Version
Candace: ''Phineas! Ferb! You did it! You're making summer last forever! You know what? You guys rock.''

Phineas: ''Aww, thanks Candace. You rock too!''

Phineas: It's been a long, long day and there were moments when I doubted.

Isabella: That'd we ever reach the point where we could laugh and sing about it.

Baljeet: Now the sun has set on this another extraordinary day.

Buford: And when it comes around again you know I'll say.

All: Tell me whatcha want to do today.

All we need is a place to start,

If we have heart, we'll make it

'Cause we're not messing around. (we're not messing around.)

Yes we can, dream it, do it, build it, make it.

I know we can really take it

To the limit, before the sun goes down.

Yes, it's true

Summer belongs to you (Summer belongs to you)

Summer belongs to you (Summer belongs to you)

Summer belongs to everyone so have some fun,

There's nothing better to do

Summer belongs to you.

Candace: Now each and everyone came up with something to do today,

Jeremy: So I mashed them all together, so now I've got to say...

Candace: That though I've often thought of you

As just a nuisance and a bother

Today I can't imagine having better little brothers

And you gotta believe in something

So today I believed in you

And you came through, we made it

I've never been so proud.

Phineas: Never been so proud.

Candace: I know at first it seemed implausible,

But we accomplished the impossible

Now there's something that I got to say out loud!

Phineas: Yes, it's true

All: Summer belongs to you (Summer belongs to you)

Summer belongs to you (Summer belongs to you)

Summer belongs to everyone, so have some fun

There's nothing better to do

Summer belongs to you. Summer belongs to you (Summer belongs to you)

Summer belongs to you (Summer belongs to you)

Summer belongs to boys and girls all around the world

We wouldn't say it if it wasn't true

Summer belongs to you

Ferb: Baby, baby, baby, baby

All: Summer belongs to you (Summer belongs to you) 

Summer belongs to you (Summer belongs to you)

Whatever you want to do, you make the rules

You got the tools to see it through

Summer belongs to you (Summer belongs to you)

Summer belongs to you (Summer belongs to you)

Just remember that you can do it and when you're through it

We'll change your point of view

Summer belongs to you!

Summer belongs to you!

Background Information

 * This song is so far the longest on Phineas and Ferb that has been in an episode, with the exception of Kick It Up A Notch.
 * This is the first song from the series with a length of at least three minutes, the average length of a pop song.
 * Ferb and other characters randomly appear and disappear from out of nowhere during the song.
 * In the soundtrack version, although Candace and Jeremy's dialogue lines are muted out, Jeremy can still be heard saying "Hey!" if one listens closely.
 * "The world's a stage" is similar to "all the world's a stage," a famous analogy from Shakespeare's As You Like It.
 * Jove is another name for the Roman god Jupiter, whose Greek name is Zeus. "By Jove" is a non-blasphemous exclamation, comparable to "by gosh" or "by golly."
 * "By Jove, I think she's got it!" is also a line from the musical My Fair Lady.
 * Danny Jacob and Olivia Olson sing the demo guide track.
 * A small part of the song's instrumental part is similar to the beginning of You Can't Stop the Beat from the Broadway musical/film adaptation of Hairspray.
 * In this song, it is shown that Candace and Jeremy's relationship, Isabella and Phineas's relationship, and Phineas and Candace's relationship were becoming visibly closer.
 * In the Chinese/Taiwanese version one bit of Candace's verse is sung by Olivia Olson, who voices Vanessa Doofenshmirtz.
 * Right before the song starts, Irving appears as a cameo behind Phineas. Jenny, Django, Coltrane, and the blond Fireside Girl appear during the song also.
 * This is one of the rare moments Candace has shown physical affection for Ferb. She tousled his hair when she was singing the line "nuisance and a bother".
 * The music video was number 3 overall in the Radio Disney Music Countdown for 2010.
 * The song was nominated and won "Best Song on a TV Series" for the 2010 Toonzone Awards.
 * This song proves that all the Fireside Girls plus Buford and Baljeet can play the trumpet.
 * The melody used during the second part of the second verses before the bridge choruses was used later in Only Trying To Help.

Errors

 * When Phineas and Isabella switch places at the start, the bottom of Phineas's right shoe and Isabella's left shoe are transparent.
 * When Jenny and Stacy dance while Phineas and Isabella get on the stage to start singing the chorus, Isabella's hair is almost completely missing when the screen turns red.
 * In addition, the boy who passes before Jenny's teeth are shown to be colored as his skin.
 * In certain parts, Adyson's hair is black instead of brown.
 * Twice in a row, when Candace is singing her part, Ginger's shirt collar is orange instead of red.
 * When Phineas and Isabella sing,"Yes it's true", Isabella's mouth doesn't move.
 * When Phineas helps Isabella out of the rollercoaster car leaving Ferb still sitting in the car, they run to a set of microphones, going to the first two. However in the next shot, they are at the last two and Ferb appears out of nowhere at the third.
 * When Phineas and Isabella are going to spin each other, Phineas' tongue turns white for a single frame.
 * When Phineas sings "As soon as you wake up" the boy to his left's hand goes in front of his mouth.
 * In the shot of everyone in a circle, Adyson's hair is lighter and Ginger appears to have a line going across her clothes. Her skirt is orange as well.
 * Ferb is actually playing a bass.
 * When the camera cuts to Phineas during the line "But we accomplished the impossible" the bottom edge of Phineas' hair is superimposed over his head.
 * When Candace starts to sing "That though I often thought of you" the collar of her shirt overlaps her neck but when she turns to scruff Ferb's hair, the collar returns to its normal orientation.

Continuity

 * When Ferb says, "Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby," it is similar to the way he says it in Gitchee Gitchee Goo, only the tune is higher-pitched and reversed.
 * The Coolest Coaster Ever is referenced when Buford pushes the front of the rollercoaster to the stage with Phineas, Ferb and Isabella inside it.
 * The line "There's a world of possibilities outside your door" may be a reference to "Rollercoaster" where one of the last lines is "There's a world of possibilities".

Trivia

 * This is the 6th time Isabella sings on her own at least once. The other times are In the Mall from "The Magnificent Few", The Ballad of Badbeard from the episode of the same name, Where Did We Go Wrong? and Danville for Niceness from "Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation!", and City of Love from "Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You!"
 * Candace and Jeremy had their first kiss during this song, in broadcast order for many countries. In production order and Latin America, this is their second attempt at a kiss after "Split Personality".
