Lyrics[]
Episode version[]
Candace: Mom, look, don't roll your eyes at me
Mom, look, just come over and see
Mom, look, it shouldn't be so hard
Mom, look, they built it in the backyard
Candace: Once they made it winter in June, built a rocket to the moon,
Mom, they caused me so much pain! Once they even gave me Perry's brain!
Oh, for crying out loud!
Candace: They built a submarine, a time machine, a haunted house that made me scream,
Drove cattle through the mall, built a giant bowling ball
Blew me up to fifty feet, a chariot dragged me down the street...
(Candace stops to catch her breath)
Background Singers: La la la la la la la...
Candace: Made their stupid clothes a fashion craze, shoelace tips a household phrase
Shot me through a circus tent, always asked where Perry went
A lava flow destroyed my face, a giant roller derby race
Thawed a caveman out of ice, built a roller coaster twice!
Demo version[]
Candace: Mom!
Put those fishsticks down, come where I am
Linda: Candace, that's not a fishstick, it's a stuffed clam
Candace: Drop that fennel, it's Phineas and the freak
Linda: Honey, that's not fennel, it's a leek
Candace: Mom, look, don't roll your eyes at me
Mom, look, just come over and see
Mom, look, it shouldn't be so hard
Mom, look, they built it in the backyard
Candace: Once they made it winter in June
Linda: I didn't see it.
Candace: Built a rocket to the moon
Linda: I didn't see it!
Candace: Mom, they caused me so much pain!
Linda: Now, Candace...
Candace: Once they even gave me Perry's brain
Linda: Oh, for crying out loud!
Candace: They built a submarine, a time machine
A haunted house that made me scream
Drove cattle through the mall
Built a giant bowling ball
Blew me up to fifty feet
A chariot dragged me down the street
Background Singers: La la la la la la la la
Candace: Made their stupid clothes a fashion craze
Shoelace tips a household phrase
Shot me through a circus tent
Always asked where Perry went.
A lava flow destroyed my face
A giant roller derby race
Thawed a caveman out of ice
Built a roller coaster twice!
Put me in a cheese sandwich and ended up in my intestines!
Linda: I didn't see it. Oh, look! Kumquats two for one!

Background Information[]
- The longer demo was posted by Martin Olson on SoundCloud. According to Martin Olson, "This song takes place in the supermarket scene in the pilot. When the show airs, you'll see that the beginning bit of the song was cut for time."
- Regarding "Put me in a cheese sandwich and ended up in my intestines!", one of the deleted lines, Phineas and Ferb actually put themselves in the cheese sandwich.
- The lyrics to the song reference the following episodes (in order):
- "S'Winter"
- "Out to Launch"
- "Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?"
- "Voyage to the Bottom of Buford"
- "It's About Time!" and/or "Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo"
- "One Good Scare Ought to Do It!"
- "The Magnificent Few"
- "Bowl-R-Ama Drama"
- "Attack of the 50 Foot Sister"
- "Greece Lightning"
- "Run Away Runway"
- "Tip of the Day"
- "Jerk De Soleil"
- "Candace Loses Her Head"
- "Crack That Whip"
- "Boyfriend From 27,000 B.C."
- "Rollercoaster"
- When Candace says "Always asked where Perry went", she has her "Mom Suit" from "Toy to the World" and "Perry Lays an Egg".
- When Candace sings of being enlarged, the boy in the shopping cart has a dinosaur that looks a lot like the one in "The Best Lazy Day Ever" and "Put That Putter Away".
- In Latin America, the song also references "Split Personality" and "Leave the Busting to Us!".
- In the studio version, Candace says the middle line (Oh, for crying out loud!) instead of Linda.
- With such a precedent, the Brazilian dub kept the line said by both characters at the same time.[1]
Errors[]
- The song says Phineas and Ferb made it winter in June however in the episode "S'Winter", Phineas says it's July. It's possible Candace was just looking for a rhyme.
- Also, Candace says they "Built a rocket to the moon", but the rocket was really made to find their star. They didn't build a rocket to the moon until "Moon Farm".
- The song says that Phineas and Ferb built the time machine, but they only fixed it.
- Candace saying "they even gave me Perry's brain" would be an error as she actually got Perry's body, unless "gave me" refers to her body instead of herself as a person.
- In this song, Candace says "built a rollercoaster twice". However, they also made rollercoasters in "Fireside Girl Jamboree" and "Phineas and Ferb-Busters!".
- Candace said "A lava flow destroyed my face" when really, the lava actually destroyed her stone carving into the mountain. She could be exaggerating. Also, since it was just a present for her, she never got them in trouble for that.

Continuity[]
- This is the second song to list many of the boys' Big Ideas, the first one being "E.V.I.L. B.O.Y.S.". Future songs to do this would be "Thank You For Coming Along" and "Such a Beautiful Day". All of these except for "Thank You for Coming Along" were sung entirely by Candace.
- Candace references the events of "Tip of the Day", which she is the only one to actually remember, seeing as how everybody else's memory of anything having to do with aglets was erased by Heinz Doofenshmirtz.
- The women pushing the shopping carts through the store appear to be the same women Doofenshmirtz paid to sing in "Impress My Professor" from "Oil on Candace".
- Conk the Caveman is shown to be still alive ever since his last appearance in "Boyfriend From 27,000 B.C.".
