"Watchin' and Waitin'" is sung in the episode "Don't Even Blink" by Phineas as they watch the Big and Obvious Ride and wait for something to happen.
Lyrics
(Clock ticking)
Phineas: We're watchin', and we're waitin',
On the edge of our seats, anticipatin'
It's looking awful permanent,
But we know it could go away...
We're keeping our eyes peeled, (Ooh-wah) keeping 'em glued to the spot (Ooh-wah)
'Cause one moment it's there, (Ooh-wah) but then the next, maybe not (Ooh-wah)
Don't know if it's magic or some weird cosmic plot,
So we're watchin' and we're waitin'...
(Instrumental)
We're starin' and we're glarin' 'til our corneas burn
We hope it'll stay for the rest of the day 'til our mama returns
So don't even think about blinking or it just might go...away...
So we're watchin', and waitin',
So we're watchin', and waitin',
Yeah we're watchin', and waitin',
We're watchin'...
(Clock ticking)
