SONG LYRICS

Here are the lyrics of several of the songs from the soundtrack:


Despicable Me
I'm havin' a bad, bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steamrolling whatever I see
Huh, despicable me

I'm havin' a bad, bad day
If you take it personal, that's okay
Watch, this is so fun to see
Ah, despicable me

Why ask why? Better yet "Why not?"
Why are you marking X on that spot?
Why use a blowtorch, isn't that hot?
Why use a chainsaw? Is that all you got?

Why do you like seeing people in shock?
But my question to you is "Why not?"
Why go to the baker, stand in line
Just use a freeze gun, it saves me time

I'm having a bad, bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steamrolling whatever I see
Huh, despicable me

I'm havin' a bad, bad day
If you take it personal, that's okay
Watch, this is so fun to see
Ah, despicable me

Why ask why when this is art?
Why parallel when I could just park?
Why does Vector think that he's smart?
And does his dad know I know his part?

Why did I have to live with my mom?
Why do you think that I should be calm?
Why want the moon, the world's in my palm
Is it crazy you think I've gone?

I'm havin' a bad, bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steamrolling whatever I see
Huh, despicable me

I'm havin' a bad, bad day
If you take it personal, that's okay
Watch, this is so fun to see
Ah, despicable me

Excuse me if you will
You look like you have time to kill
Can you chill? 'Cause Groove's got the speakers
And the trunk to make you bounce, bounce
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
To make you bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce

I'm havin' a bad, bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steamrolling whatever I see
Huh, despicable me

I'm havin' a bad, bad day
If you take it personal, that's okay
Watch, this is so fun to see
Ah, despicable me

Despicable, despicable
Despicable me, despicable me
Despicable me, despicable me
Despicable me, despicable me

I'm havin' a bad, bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steamrolling whatever I see
Huh, despicable me

I'm havin' a bad, bad day
If you take it personal, that's okay
Watch, this is so fun to see
Ah, despicable me

 

Fun, Fun, Fun
Take me, far away, anywhere
As long as it's fun, fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun, I wanna go

The school bell rings, what I've been waiting for
And you just spring and run for the door
Hey, it's summer mom, hey, it's summer dad
Man, it's been so long since the children had
A good time

Hey, maybe it all probably takes it's toll?
Hey, but didn't I make honor roll?
Either way eat your words, it's our time we deserve
Oh, to have a good time

Take me, far away, anywhere
As long as it's fun, fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun, I wanna go

No more teachers and principals
A good behavior is sensible
Let's do everything till the summer's done
It's the greatest time for a soda, yum
And have a good time

Hey, maybe it all probably takes its toll?
Hey, but didn't I make honor roll?
Either way, eat your words, its our time, we deserve
Oh, to have a good time

Take me, far away, anywhere
As long as it's fun, fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun, I wanna go

No more homework or PTA
No more lunch food as toxic waste
Let's get Mickey D's as a matter of fact
Lets get happy meals, want a sundae, man?
What a good time

Hey, maybe it all probably takes its toll
Hey, but didn't I make honor roll?
Either way, eat your words, it's our time, we deserve
Oh, to have a good time

 

Boogie Fever
Boogie fever
Got to boogie down
Boogie fever
I think it's going around

I took my baby to the drive in show
She turned the speaker down
And then she turned on the radio
I watched a silent movie, diggin' funky sound

She's got the boogie fever
She likes to boogie down
Boogie fever
I think it's going around

I took my baby too the pizza parlor
To get a bite to eat
I put some money in the jukebox for her
You know she ate her pizza dancing to the beat

She's got the boogie fever
She likes to boogie down
She's got the boogie fever
I think it's going around

All night long, we did the bump, bump, bump
Yes we did, yes we did, yes we did, yeah
She kept it going strong, doin' the bump, bump, bump
Doin' the bump, bump, bump

I called the doctor on the telephone
Doctor, doctor
Said doctor, doctor, please
I, I, I, I got this feeling rockin' and a'reelin'
Tell me, what can it be, is it some new disease?

They call it boogie fever
You've got to boogie down
Boogie fever
I think it's going around
Fever, fever, fever

All night long, we did the bump, bump, bump
Yes we did, yes we did, yes we did
We kept it going strong doin' the bump, bump, bump

Everybody's got the boogie fever
Boogie down, now get on down, now get on down
Boogie fever
I think it's going around
And around, and around

I got the boogie fever
And I said you got the boogie fever
I said she's got the boogie fever
Everybody's got the boogie fever

Boogie fever
Boogie down
Just get on down, just get on down
Boogie fever

 

My Life
I met this pretty girl
She was from D.C
I liked the way that she smiled

Said, "There's a party tonight
You oughta come with me"
She said, "Baby, I'll try"

I waited all night long
For her to walk in
For her to bring me her light

Then she came in the room
She looked right at me
She was the vision of my life

I love, my life
Everything is wonderful
My life
The sun is out, it's shining so bright

My life
Just like it's supposed to go
My life
And it's just getting started tonight

You and me, we're living the dream tonight, tonight
You and me, we're living the dream alright, alright
You and me, we're living the dream tonight, tonight
You and me, we're living the dream alright, alright

I'm in the perfect place
Can't wipe the smile off my face
Ain't nothin' bringing me down

I feel like clappin' my hands
I feel like stompin' my feet
I feel like groovin' all night

With your body close to me
I hope you can feel my energy
Watch you move your body, get hot with me
You and I are celebrating tonight

It's all around me now
You couldn't stop it if you tried
Today is like no other day
'Cause I'm havin' the time of my life

My life
Everything is wonderful
My life
The sun is out, it's shining so bright

My life
Just like it's supposed to go
My life
And it's just getting started tonight

You and me, we're living the dream tonight, tonight
You and me, we're living the dream alright, alright
You and me, we're living the dream tonight, tonight
You and me, we're living the dream alright, alright

Take me to the sky
Like never before, like never before
And we'll lie back on the moon
Like never before, like never before

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

I love my life
Everything is wonderful
My life
The sun is out, it's shining so bright

My life
Just like it's supposed to go
My life
And it's just getting started tonight

You and me, we're living the dream tonight, tonight
You and me, we're living the dream alright, alright
You and me, we're living the dream tonight, tonight
You and me, we're living the dream alright, alright

Tonight, tonight
Alright, alright
Tonight, tonight
Alright, alright
