Rollercoaster (song)

Rolercoaster is the song that appears in "Rollercoaster: The Musical!" as Phineas, Ferb, and friends try out the rollercoaster.

Lyrics
(Rollercoaster, roll, rollercoaster)

Isabella: ''Phineas, are you sure this is safe?  Phineas: Of course!''

(Rollercoaster, roll, rollercoaster)

Phineas: It's like a leisurely drive around downtown''  But it starts with a 3 mile drop straight down  And now keep your head and hands and feet inside the ride '' Not a written rule but it's strongly implied

Permanecer sentados, por favor

Scream if you want more!

That's right

Cork screwin 'round the interstate

With peanut butter and rubber snakes

Clear the way move over

Look out Bud

Here comes the mud!

Rollercoaster, roll, rollercoaster

Look out!

Right side up and upside down

Don't ask me to talk

Can't tell a verb from a noun

And I'm screaming like a baby

Who's afraid of a clown

Buford: I'm glad I'm wearing trousers

That are already brown!

Phineas: It'll twist your belly

It'll turn your gut

Man is this ride sweet or what?

We go:

Phineas and passengers: Ah ah ah

Ferb: We go:

Phineas and passengers: Ah ah ah

Ferb: We go:

Phineas and passengers: Ah ah ah

Yeah rollercoaster

Buford (on show), Baljeet (on album): I got the poster!

(Rollercoaster, roll, rollercoaster)

(Rollercoaster, roll, rollercoaster)

(Rollercoaster, roll, rollercoaster)

(Rollercoaster, roll, rollercoaster)

Background information

 * The phrase "Can't tell a verb from a noun" is most likely a reference to the song "Nicest Kids In Town," from another musical, Hairspray.
 * This is the first time where Phineas and Ferb's friends actually seemed to be scared when trying out an activity.
 * If one listens closely when the group is about to shoot out of the mud, the music gets a bit louder before going back to normal.
 * While Phineas sings "scream if you want more!" The next portion of the track is shown to be a tangle of track, similar to rollercoasters such as Poltergiest.
 * In Spain this song's called "La segunda montaña rusa" (translated "The Second Rollercoaster").
 * When Phineas says "Peanut butter and rubber snakes", he is making a reference to the first episode as they were using peanut butter for glue to hold it together.
 * In the album version, Baljeet sings the line "I got the poster", instead of Buford. Also, during the stanza "right side up then upside down," there are additional vocals by Danny Jacob that sing along with Phineas and Buford.

Errors

 * In the new scenes Isabella is with Ginger in the second car and Baljeet and Buford are in the third car. In "Rollercoaster", the second and third car were occupied by Isabella and the three kids who took the poster in the mall. They can be seen in some reused sequences towards of the end of the song, making the Fireside Girls, Buford and Baljeet appear to "vanish" for a brief moment.
 * As Isabella looks at the seatbelt falling, she looks to her left. When she asks if the ride is safe, she turns from the right.
 * When the rollercoaster is near the bottom of the first drop, the roads are colored like grass.
 * In one scene, where Phineas, Ferb and their passengers are going through the snake zone, Phineas's hair appears to be green. This is either a programming error or Phineas's hair cannot be seen through Ferb's hair. This is only visible for a few seconds but there is no snake in Phineas's hair so he either had green hair for these few seconds or it may be Ferb's hair.
 * When the kids are covered in rubber snakes, Phineas' mouth isn't moving while he is singing.
 * When the roller coaster cart passes through the tangle of track, they skip some of the track.
 * Phineas threw his guitar in between song, but at the end of the song had his guitar with him.

Continuity

 * The line "Permanecer sentados, por favor" is a reference to Phineas' lines in the Original Story Pitch and in "Fireside Girl Jamboree", meaning "Remain seated, please" in Spanish.
