Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Professor, what you did was reckless.

You could have gotten hurt.

Blossom...

I got to agree with Ribbon Head.

First, you sprain your wrist a little,

and the next thing you know -- bam!

Shark attack! I've seen it a million times.

Okay, Buttercup, I -- I don't think you understand.

Sharks live in the ocean.

Professor, I don't want you to get eaten by a shark.

The point is you need to be more careful.

Oh, girls, that's very sweet,

but I can take care of myself.

Now, if you'll just excuse me, I need to get another bandage.

Ooh!

Oops. [ Chuckles ]

Silly me. Geez.

[ Crashing, glass shattering ]

[ Groaning ]

Oops! Silly stairs! Heh.

Girls, the professor isn't a superhero like us.

Yeah, if a four-headed monster threw a building at him,

he could sprain his ankle.

Or worse.

Pigtails O'Shanessy is right.

It's our job to keep the people safe,

and that starts with the professor.

We can't let him out of our sight.

Together: Right!

♪ Whoa, yeah! ♪

Whoa! Professor, this knife is way too sharp.

[ Grunting ]

This box is way too heavy.

These chemicals are too volatile.

Too bright.

Too dark.

[ Hisses ]

-Too wet. -Too dry.

Too fast.

Too slow, too slow, too slow.

-Too cold. -Too dangerous.

-Too hot. -Too loud!

-Too clean. -Too sunny.

-Too slimy. -Too spiky.

-Too robotic. -Too dark.

-Too hot. -Too loud!

[ Whimpering ]

Oh, thanks, girls.

I had no idea the world could be so dangerous.

You're welcome, Professor.

You're completely safe in this protective ball.

Yeah. Even from sharks.

[ Chomping ]

Professor, consider this house protected.
