"Yellow Sidewalk" is a song from "Wizard of Odd", sung by Isabella as the good witch telling Candace how to get to Bustopolis.
Lyrics[]
Patchkins : Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo! La-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Isabella: Well, the sky is blue and the breeze, it is mellow
I'll tell you what to do
Take the walkway that's yellow
It'll get you where you want to go
Just take that yellow sidewalk!
Patchkins: Ooo-hoo! La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Isabella: Just take the yellow one, not the one that's burnt umber
And don't you take that purple one, it's covered with lumber
A log truck overturned last Tuesday
Take the yellow sidewalk!
Patchkins: Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo!
Isabella: If you wanna bust your brothers
Put one foot after another
There's a road that leads you out of this square
And there's nothing really stopping us
So let us state the obvious
If you're standing here, baby
Isabella and Patchkins: You're going nowhere!
Isabella: So if you're really in a busting mood
Please don't think I'm being rude
Just grab yourself some take-out food, and hit that yellow sidewalk!
Patchkins: Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo! La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo! La-la-la-la-la-la-la...
Demo version[]
Well, the sky is blue and the breeze is mellow
If I were you
I'd take the walkway that's yellow
It'll get you where you want to go
Just take that yellow sidewalk!
If you wanna bust your brothers
Put one foot after another
There's a road that leads you out of this square
And there's nothing really stopping us
So let us state the obvious
If you're standing here, baby
You're going nowhere!
So if you're really in a busting mood
Please don't think I'm being rude
Just grab yourself some take-out food and hit that yellow sidewalk!
There's nothin' ever stoppin' us
We're goin' to Bustopolis
Everyone will eat our dust
Our journey's pure, our cause is just
So better wear your rubber boots
We're goin' to Bustopolis
Background Information[]
- The sky in Patchkinland is not blue as stated in the song, but light pink, to possibly match Isabella's dress.
- The "Ooo-hoo!" part sounds a lot like Phineas's voice. Before the song started, Phineas was seen, but was never seen in the song. Vincent Martella may have possibly sang background in this song.
- This song resembles the Wizard of Oz's song "Follow the Yellow Brick Road".
- The Patchkins resemble the Fireside Girls, but there are eight Patchkins, one of them is possibly unknown.
- Errors - In the line "And there's nothing really stopping us, so let us state the obvious" Candace's eye color changes to brown.
- As revealed by Martin Olson on his official Soundcloud page, this song originally had a longer ending which was cut for time:
- There's nothin' ever stoppin' us
- We're goin' to Bustopolis
- Everyone will eat our dust
- Our journey's pure, our cause is just
- (Repeat)
- So better wear your rubber boots
- We're goin' to Bustopolis
- (Repeat first four lines of this portion until fadeout)
- The first four lines from the longer ending are in the alternate version of the song "I Wish I Was Cool".

Continuity[]
- The "La-la-la-la-la-la-la..." repeats 3 more times in the episode, just before meeting Phineas and Ferb's new path.
