Lyrics[]
Danny Jacob: It's not bad to have goals, perse, when your teacher, coach, and counselor ask
Cold hard reality can get in your way, then you're really not up to the task
Well you've been scheming and spying and screaming and crying, but you know there's still something that you're still not trying
Danny Jacob and Laura Dickinson: Give up!
Danny Jacob: You've been trying to sell this so long, even though there's no one out there buying
Danny Jacob and Laura Dickinson: Give up!
Danny Jacob: I know you're tired of the same old song,
Danny Jacob and Laura Dickinson: But it's not really failure if you're not even trying: Give up!
Danny Jacob: Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Laura Dickinson: (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Danny Jacob: It's like you're banging your head against the same old wall, baby, all you got to show is a bruise
Laura Dickinson: All you got to show is a bruise
Danny Jacob: Well, it's a crazy thing to do to just keep on repeating
All these actions that will only lead to cranial bleeding,
Danny Jacob and Laura Dickinson: Give up!
Danny Jacob: It's time for you to throw in the towel, capitulate and raise the white flag
Danny Jacob and Laura Dickinson: Give up!
Danny Jacob: And don't be bitter just because you're a quitter!
Danny Jacob and Laura Dickinson: You can even hold up your head up and brag: That's right, you gave up!
Danny Jacob: She gave up! She gave up!
Candace/Chorus: I gave up!
Candace: That's right, I never even suited up, folks!
Candace/Chorus: I gave up!
Candace: I threw the baby out with the bathwater!
Candace/Chorus: I gave up!
Candace: I forgot the Alamo!
Candace/Chorus: I gave up!
Candace: I'm not even going for the bronze!
Candace/Chorus: I gave up!
Candace: I'm staying right here, man.
Candace/Chorus: I gave up!
Candace: In this hammock. I like it.
Aw, it's beautiful, man.

Background Information[]
- This is the longest song that only features Candace and no other major character on the show.
- The painter in the song is the same one that sang a line in "City of Love" from "Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!".
- This is the second song where more than one Candace appears. The other is "I'm Through with Me" from the Season 2 episode "Split Personality". At one point, 25 Candace's are seen on the screen.
- Candace does not scream or run away from the squirrel on the hammock, despite her fear of squirrels ("Comet Kermillian"). This may take place before she developed her fear, or it could be because of her relaxed and carefree state.
Errors[]
- When the line passes by the army, Candace flashes by the motorcycle driver for a single frame.
- At the end when Candace is in the hammock, there is a rock below her, but from the top view, the rock is gone.
- The shadow of a rope is seen in the top down view of Candace in the hammock, but in the side view, no rope is seen. Also, a hammock would typically not have a rope in real life.
- After the boxer is told to give up, the bruise on his right eye permanently disappears.
- When in the room with the artist, Candace goes off screen. However, when watching in slow motion, her head seems to disappear. By watching frame-by-frame, one can see that her head then pops back in.
- In another freeze frame, Candace appears on screen after having walked off. It lasts two frames and happens when the group passes by the army.
- When watching the scene with everyone and (about) 15-30 Candaces in slow motion or frame-by-frame, one can see that Candace's head appears on screen without being properly animated.
- Right before the two frames with Candace, the football player's arm glitches out. At one point, his left arm appears twice.
- It seemed like all of the army men gave up, yet only one of them follows Candace.
- When Candace is on the hill, her legs are in an unnatural position.
- When Candace is on the hill with more Candaces in front of her, her arm begins to glitch out, and then disappears. Afterward, there is a break in Candace's arm, but then it glitches out again, fading in and out. Her entire body does this at one point, and becomes quite blurred.
- In the hammock scene, a side view has a rock, a drink, no flowers and no rope. However, when it is seen from a top-down perspective, the rock and drink disappears, while the rope and flowers then appear.
