"Heck of a Day" is a song played in "Road to Danville" as Perry and Doofenshmirtz walk in the desert.
Lyrics[]
Lines in blue are spoken by Doofenshmirtz in the episode only.
Nowhere to go, nothing to see
Except sand and sand and sand, and you and me
Hey, look how big the sun is through this magnifying glass. Ow! Oww! Oh! No really, it's huge. You should see it.
Baked from the heat, we've got sun on all sides
Getting tanned and tanned, like we're a couple of hides
I mean, he drives a taxi for heaven's sake, he could work anywhere. But he expects her to just pack up and move to Vegas. I mean, seriously!
Two lost nomads who will never be missed
Some might interpret this as just a karmic slap on the wrist,
But I've just gotta say it's a heck of a day to be us! Oh, yeah... Oh no...
I was sure my arm would grow back, but it never did. See? Pure titanium. It's a fact.
It's a heck of a day to not have a car
And just walk and walk and not know where you are
You don't communicate, you know that? Y-you don't share. I-I know nothing about your private life. You're very closed off. Closed. That's you.
We got no kind of a map, nothing to show us the way
And it's just talk and talk and talk with nothing to say!
It's a heck of a day, a heck of a day to be us!
It's a heck of a day to be us! A heck of a day to be us!
Demo version[]
Nowhere to go, nothing to see
Except sand and sand and sand, and you and me
Walking along in this heat
Getting tanned, and tanned, and tanned
The sun is cooking meat
Two lost nomads who will never be missed
Some sort of teal chihuahua and a pharmacist
It's a heck of a day, a heck of a day to be us!
It's a heck of a day to not have a car
And just walk and walk and not know where you are
Lost track the month, don't even know the day
And it's just talk and talk and talk with nothing to say!
It's a heck of a day, a heck of a day to be us!
Hope some day we'll get out of here
Cuz we're on a sandy road to nowhere
It's a heck of a day to be us
A heck of a day to be us
It's a heck of a day to be us
