Episode version[]
Doofenshmirtz: You can can it with the mystery,
You don't have to be so vague.
Chorus girls: So vague!
Doofenshmirtz: Give your nemesis some history,
All the reasons you're a...
Doofenshmirtz and chorus girls: Rotten egg.
Doofenshmirtz: (While Chorus girls ooh in the background)
It's not enough just to show him your device,
You've got to tell him what it does.
I think you'll be surprised that his attention span,
He's the only one that's gonna understand,
You gotta tell him all of your evil plans, because...
Doofenshmirtz and chorus girls: You've got to...
Doofenshmirtz: Talk to him
Chorus girls: Ooh!
Doofenshmirtz: Tell him...
Doofenshmirtz and chorus girls: Every twisted scheme that's in your head
Doofenshmirtz: Talk to him
Chorus girls: Ooh!
Doofenshmirtz: You've got to...
Doofenshmirtz and chorus girls: Give him some specifics he can dread.
Doofenshmirtz: Talk to him.
Don't just...
Doofenshmirtz and chorus girls: Stand there like a rock.
Doofenshmirtz: He's got two furry ears, so use them
Chorus girls: Use them!
Doofenshmirtz: I know you really want to bruise him
Chorus girls: Bruise him!
Doofenshmirtz: But I think you're gonna lose him if you don't talk
Chorus girls: If you don't talk
Doofenshmirtz and chorus girls: Talk to him (ooh~)
Doofenshmirtz: Communication is the key,
If you just open up, you'll see,
And maybe he'll stop thwarting me...
Doofenshmirtz and chorus girls: If you just talk!
Full version[]
You can can it with the mystery, you don't have to be so vague (So vague!)
Give your nemesis some history, all the reasons you're a rotten egg
It's not enough just to show him your device, you've got to tell him what it does
I think you'll be surprised that his attention span, he's the only one that's gonna understand, you gotta tell him all of your evil plans, because...
You've got to... talk to him! (Ooh!)
Tell him everything that's in your evil mind!
Talk to him (Ooh!)
He probably wants to know the reasons you're unkind!
Talk to him!
Don't just stand there like a rock, he's got two furry ears, so use them!
(Use them!)
I know you really want to bruise him
(Bruise him!)
But I think you're gonna lose him if you don't talk!
(If you don't talk!)
Don't you keep it all inside, that's narcissistic
If you wanna keep your relationship antagonistic! (Talk!)
Talk to him (Ooh!)
Tell him every twisted scheme that's in your head!
Talk to him (Ooh!)
You've got to give him some specifics he can dread!
Talk to him!
Don't leave him staring at the clock, if you wanna keep on fighting (Fighting!)
He's the one you should confide in (Confide in!)
Cause you're gonna be divided if you don't talk! (If you don't talk!)
Communication is the key, if you just open up, you'll see,
And maybe he'll stop thwarting me... if you just talk!
