:'''Original performance''' parodying "{{w|Atlantis (song)|Atlantis}}".
:Performed by [[Donovan]] in "[[The Deep South]]".
<poem>Atlanta was a city, landlocked,
Hundreds of miles from the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean,
Yet so desperate the city's desire for tourism,
That they moved offshore, becoming an island,
And an even bigger Delta hub,
until the city overdeveloped
And it started to sink.
Knowing their fate, the quality people ran away,
Ted Turner, Hank Aaron, Jeff Foxworthy,
The Guy Who Invented Coca-Cola, the Magician,
And the other so-called gods of our legends,
Though gods they were--
And also, Jane Fonda was there.
The others chose to remain behind
On their porches with their rifles,
And one day evolve into mermaids,
And sing and dance,
And ring in the new.</poem>

<poem>'''Robot Devil''': Wonderful! ''[He produces another contract.]'' Just sign here. ''[Leela signs. Calculon walks by and the Robot Devil stops him.]'' Calculon, old friend, I'm afraid I need your ears.</poem>
<poem>'''[[Calculon]]''': Well I do owe you for giving me this unholy ''[melodramatically]'' acting talent.</poem>
:''[The Robot Devil takes Calculon's ears off his head and puts them into Leela's ears. She looks around and smiles.]''
<poem>'''Leela''': I can hear! I can hear like a safecracker! Hey, aren't you gonna take my hand?</poem>
<poem>'''Robot Devil''': In good time. You go enjoy the opera.</poem>
:''[Leela gives him a curious look and runs back into the auditorium.]''
Song D) Stupider Than You
<poem>:'''Holo-Fry''': To win Leela's heart with the holophonor's art,
I need hands of transcendental quickness.
:'''Holo-Robot Devil''': Well, I don't see any danger,
In gambling with a stranger,
For my head is of a most amazing thickness.
:''[He spins the wheel and falls over.]''
I'm stupid, I'm stupid,
I'm stupider than you,
I'm stupider than you in every way.</poem>
Song E) I Want My Hands Back
<poem>
:Robot Devil: [talking] Stupider? Pah! This opera's as lousy as it is brilliant! [He kicks the Holo-Robot Devil actor off the stage. The audience gasps. Fry stops playing and the holo-scene fades, leaving the Holo-Fry actor standing on the stage in his underpants.] Your lyrics lack subtlety. You can't just have your characters announce how they feel. That makes me feel angry.
:Fry: [talking] Look, what do you want?
:Robot Devil: I want my hands back.
[He laughs and columns of flame explode behind him.]
:Fry: [talking] Never!
[singing] A deal's a deal,
Even with a dirty dealer.
:Robot Devil: Very well,
Then I'll take what I want from Leela.
[The spotlight moves from the stage to Leela. The Robot Devil extends his arms and pulls her from her seat onto the stage.]
:Leela: [talking] Whoa!
:Robot Devil: Leela has promised me her hand.
:Leela: Fry, you do not understand.
[The music slows down and the spotlight narrows as Leela walks across the stage.]
I should have revealed I've been deafened by Bender,
The shame,
The shame,
But I feared you'd stop writing this musical splendour,
Deception's the curse of my whimsical gender,
He gave me mechanical ears,
Effective though just a bit garish,
In return without shedding a tear,
I agreed that I'd give him my hand—
:Robot Devil: In marriage!
:Leela: [talking] What?
:Robot Devil: You'd give me your hand in marriage.
[He gets down on one knee. The audience watches. Professor Farnsworth watches through some opera glasses which are just as thick as his normal ones.]
:Hermes: Is this really happening or just being staged?
:Professor Farnsworth: It can't be real—
:Amy: Not if Leela is engaged.
:Leela: That isn't what I meant,
That isn't what I signed.
[The Robot Devil takes the contract out of his chest cabinet.]
Robot Devil: You should have checked the wording in my fine... [He makes the contract larger.] Print.
:Leela: [reading] I'll give you my hand...
:Leela and Robot Devil: In marriage.
[In the audience, Bender reads from a dictionary.]
:Bender: "The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention",
Now that is "irony".
[The Robot Devil pulls Preacherbot out of his seat and onto the stage.]
:Robot Devil: I will marry her now and confine her to hell,
How droll,
How droll!
Where Styx is a river,
And not just a band,
Though they'll play our reception if all goes as planned,
Unless, Fry, you surrender my hands!
[Fry looks at the hands on his wrists. The spotlight narrows over him.]
:Fry: Destiny has cheated me,
By forcing me to decide upon,
The woman that I idolise,
Or the hands of an automaton,
Without these hands I can't complete,
The opera that was captivating her,
But if I keep them,
And she marries him,
Then he probably won't want me dating her.
[The audience applauds and cheers. Nixon sits next to Morbo and his wife.]
:Nixon: [hooting] Arooo!
:Zapp: [talking] Bray-vo! Enn-core!
Professor Farnsworth: I can't believe the devil is so unforgiving.
Dr. Zoidberg: I can't believe everybody's just ad-libbing!
[Leela struggles to get out of the Robot Devil's hold as Fry gazes at his hands.]
Preacherbot: By the power vested in me,
By the state of New New York—
:Fry: [talking] No! [He pushes the Robot Devil away from Leela.] Stop! Take my hands!
[singing] You evil, metal dork!</poem>

The psychic worms from {{w|Rigel in fiction#Film and television|Rigel 9}}
Who control ev'rything we do
Will make us think that was then

That was then, and this is ''too''&mdash;!</poem>

'''Kwanzaa-bot''': Ch, Check it out,
Kwanzaa-bot in the neptizzle hizzle,
with my inhuman beat-box,
busy building missiles.
They're guided by these cute dancing fairy figures.
Careful little elf, that's proximity-triggered.
I'm fighting back for [[Kwanzaa]] so the children won't miss it.
I'm confused about its meaning,
but I know it when they diss it.
So Santa?
'''Santa''': Yeah, Kay?
'''Kwanzaabot''': Cee Zee?
'''Chanukah Zombie ''': Say hey.
'''Kwanzaabot''': Let's slay them pimps.
Come on, pimp my sleigh.
'''Chanukah Zombie''': Easy with that toy artillery,

We once found a guy face down in the Slurm
The tinsel and the trappings are just icing on the missile.

The one thing that you need to make your Xmas day splendiferous
So keep your head down and keep your mouth shut
Is a [[pine tree]]; a pine tree that's coniferous.

The 98 Words We Don't Say

Original performance.

A

Atlanta

Original performance parodying "Atlantis".
Performed by Donovan in "The Deep South".

Atlanta was a city, landlocked,
Hundreds of miles from the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean,
Yet so desperate the city's desire for tourism,
That they moved offshore, becoming an island,
And an even bigger Delta hub,
until the city overdeveloped
And it started to sink.
Knowing their fate, the quality people ran away,
Ted Turner, Hank Aaron, Jeff Foxworthy,
The Guy Who Invented Coca-Cola, the Magician,
And the other so-called gods of our legends,
Though gods they were--
And also, Jane Fonda was there.
The others chose to remain behind
On their porches with their rifles,
And one day evolve into mermaids,
And sing and dance,
And ring in the new.

Performed by Hermes, LaBarbara, Dr. Zoidberg, Professor Farnsworth, Leela, Bender, and Morgan Proctor in "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back". Available as a karaoke track in Volume 7.

Hermes: When I was four there was a hurricane in Kingston Town,
With a foot and a half of water,
Everyone was alright but I cried all night,
It blew my alphabet blocks out of order,
And they said, "This boy's born to be a bureaucrat,
Born to be all obsessive and snotty,"
I made my friends and relations file long applications,
To get into my 10th birthday party.
[He scoops up some red tubes, slides down a tube and drops them into some filing cabinets. LaBarbara pops out of one of them.]
LaBarbara: But something changed when my man turned pro.
Hermes: I was sortin' but I wasn't smilin'.
[He throws a tube to LaBarbara and she catches it.]
LaBarbara: He forgot that it's not about badges and ranks.
Hermes: It's supposed to be about the filing! People!
[He jumps onto Number 1.0's desk and starts juggling the tubes.]
We didn't choose to be bureaucrats,
No, that's what almighty Jah made us,
We treat people like swine,
And make 'em stand in line,
Even if nobody paid us!
[He dives off the desk into the pile of red tubes.]
Hermes: They say the world looks down on the bureaucrats,
They say we're anal, compulsive and weird,
But when push comes to shove,
You gotta do what you love,
Even if it's not a good idea.
[He slides down the pile and throws the red tubes around the other Planet Express staff like a knife thrower.]
Zoidberg!
Zoidberg: They said I probably shouldn't be a surgeon.
Farnsworth: They pooh-poohed my electric frankfurter.
Leela: They said I probably shouldn't fly with just one eye.
[A tube hits her in the eye.]
Bender: [mechanical voice] I am Bender. Please insert girder.
[Hermes lays a tube across Bender's arms and he bends it, sending the red tubes flying off in another direction. Hermes rips off his shirt revealing a multi-coloured shirt underneath.]
Hermes: Everybody sing Jamaica!
[He limbos under the flying tubes.]
All: Jamaica!
Hermes: Just the bureaucrats, Jamaica!
Bureaucrats: Jamaica!
Hermes: The grade 19's!
[Morgan looks around and reluctantly joins in.]
Morgan: Jamaica.
[Hermes starts a conga line with the bureaucrats.]
Hermes: Sing me home!
When push comes to shove,
You gotta do what you love,
Even if it's not a good idea!
[He picks up a red tube, takes Bender's disk out of it and throws it into Bender's head. Bender's personality resurfaces.]
Bender: I'm Bender, baby! Please insert liquor!

Tinny Tim: Extra! Extra! World's greatest opera only half over.

Leela: Half over? Oh, I'd give anything to hear the rest.

[The coat door opens, revealing the Robot Devil inside.]

Robot Devil: Anything? [Leela gasps and drops her glass. A man hands the Robot Devil his coat and he hands him a ticket.] Thank you, sir. [The man leaves and the Robot Devil turns to Leela.] Now, as I was saying, anything? Because I can give you new robotic ears!

[He points at his ears.]

Leela: What? You can give me new ears? Wait. What seemingly reasonable thing do you want in return?

Robot Devil: Just your hands, my dear.

Leela: Whatever you said, forget it!

Robot Devil: Alright then, just one hand.

Leela: Just...my left hand? Um, uh--

Announcer: Please take your seats for act two.

Hedonismbot: But I'm not done vomiting.

[He laughs. Leela looks at the people behind her.]

Leela: I can't stand it! [She takes a deep breath.] OK. You can have my hand.

Robot Devil: Wonderful! [He produces another contract.] Just sign here. [Leela signs. Calculon walks by and the Robot Devil stops him.] Calculon, old friend, I'm afraid I need your ears.

Calculon: Well I do owe you for giving me this unholy [melodramatically] acting talent.

[The Robot Devil takes Calculon's ears off his head and puts them into Leela's ears. She looks around and smiles.]

Leela: I can hear! I can hear like a safecracker! Hey, aren't you gonna take my hand?

Robot Devil: In good time. You go enjoy the opera.

[Leela gives him a curious look and runs back into the auditorium.]

Song D) Stupider Than You

Holo-Fry: To win Leela's heart with the holophonor's art,
I need hands of transcendental quickness.
Holo-Robot Devil: Well, I don't see any danger,
In gambling with a stranger,
For my head is of a most amazing thickness.
[He spins the wheel and falls over.]
I'm stupid, I'm stupid,
I'm stupider than you,
I'm stupider than you in every way.

Song E) I Want My Hands Back

Robot Devil: [talking] Stupider? Pah! This opera's as lousy as it is brilliant! [He kicks the Holo-Robot Devil actor off the stage. The audience gasps. Fry stops playing and the holo-scene fades, leaving the Holo-Fry actor standing on the stage in his underpants.] Your lyrics lack subtlety. You can't just have your characters announce how they feel. That makes me feel angry.
Fry: [talking] Look, what do you want?
Robot Devil: I want my hands back.
[He laughs and columns of flame explode behind him.]
Fry: [talking] Never!
[singing] A deal's a deal,
Even with a dirty dealer.
Robot Devil: Very well,
Then I'll take what I want from Leela.
[The spotlight moves from the stage to Leela. The Robot Devil extends his arms and pulls her from her seat onto the stage.]
Leela: [talking] Whoa!
Robot Devil: Leela has promised me her hand.
Leela: Fry, you do not understand.
[The music slows down and the spotlight narrows as Leela walks across the stage.]
I should have revealed I've been deafened by Bender,
The shame,
The shame,
But I feared you'd stop writing this musical splendour,
Deception's the curse of my whimsical gender,
He gave me mechanical ears,
Effective though just a bit garish,
In return without shedding a tear,
I agreed that I'd give him my hand—
Robot Devil: In marriage!
Leela: [talking] What?
Robot Devil: You'd give me your hand in marriage.
[He gets down on one knee. The audience watches. Professor Farnsworth watches through some opera glasses which are just as thick as his normal ones.]
Hermes: Is this really happening or just being staged?
Professor Farnsworth: It can't be real—
Amy: Not if Leela is engaged.
Leela: That isn't what I meant,
That isn't what I signed.
[The Robot Devil takes the contract out of his chest cabinet.]
Robot Devil: You should have checked the wording in my fine... [He makes the contract larger.] Print.
Leela: [reading] I'll give you my hand...
Leela and Robot Devil: In marriage.
[In the audience, Bender reads from a dictionary.]
Bender: "The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention",
Now that is "irony".
[The Robot Devil pulls Preacherbot out of his seat and onto the stage.]
Robot Devil: I will marry her now and confine her to hell,
How droll,
How droll!
Where Styx is a river,
And not just a band,
Though they'll play our reception if all goes as planned,
Unless, Fry, you surrender my hands!
[Fry looks at the hands on his wrists. The spotlight narrows over him.]
Fry: Destiny has cheated me,
By forcing me to decide upon,
The woman that I idolise,
Or the hands of an automaton,
Without these hands I can't complete,
The opera that was captivating her,
But if I keep them,
And she marries him,
Then he probably won't want me dating her.
[The audience applauds and cheers. Nixon sits next to Morbo and his wife.]
Nixon: [hooting] Arooo!
Zapp: [talking] Bray-vo! Enn-core!
Professor Farnsworth: I can't believe the devil is so unforgiving.
Dr. Zoidberg: I can't believe everybody's just ad-libbing!
[Leela struggles to get out of the Robot Devil's hold as Fry gazes at his hands.]
Preacherbot: By the power vested in me,
By the state of New New York—
Fry: [talking] No! [He pushes the Robot Devil away from Leela.] Stop! Take my hands!
[singing] You evil, metal dork!

The March of the Non-Union Elves

Original performance.
Performed by Bender, Leela, Fry, Robot Santa Claus, and his aides (the Neptunian elves) in "A Tale of Two Santas". Available as a karaoke track in Volume 7.

Neptunian elves: We are free and fairly sober
With so many toys to build
The machines are kind of tricky
Probably someone will be killed
But we gladly work for nothing
Fry: Which is good because we don't intend to pay
Neptunian elves: The elves are back to work today
Hooray!
We have just a couple hours
To make several billion gifts
And the labor isn't easy
Leela: Then you'll all work triple shifts
You can make the job go quicker
If you turn up the controls to super speed
Fry, Leela and Bender: It's back to work on Xmas Eve
Neptunian elves: Hooray.
Leela: And though you're cold and sore and ugly
Your pride will mask the pain
Fry: Let my happy smile warm your hearts
Neptunian elf: There's a toy lodged in my brain
Neptunian elves: We are getting awfully tired
And we can't work any faster
And we're very, very sorry
Bender: Why you selfish little bastards!
Do you want the kids to think
That Santa's just a crummy empty handed jerk?!
Then shut your yaps and back to work!
Neptunian elves: Now it's very nearly Xmas
And we've done the best we could
Fry: These toy soldiers are poorly painted
Leela: And they're made from inferior wood
Bender: I should give you all a beating
But I really have to fly
Robot Santa: If I wasn't stuck here frozen
I'd harpoon you in the eye
Neptunian elves: Now it's back into our tenements
To drown ourselves in rye
Leela: You did the best you could I guess
And some of these gorillas are OK
Neptunian elves: HOORAY! (We're adequate!)
All: The elves have rescued Xmas Day
Hooray!

My Broken Friend

Original performance.
Performed by Bender and Beck in "Bendin' in the Wind".

Bender: People say my broken friend is useless.
But I say his mind is free.
There's lots of things my mangled robot friend could be.
Beck: Kick it!
Bender: Well, he could make a good hat rack,
Beck: He only has to stand there.
Bender: Or a cheap doorstop,
Beck: He doesn't need to move.
Bender: Or a great big giant thermos with a twist off top,
Beck: That would be good for soup.
Bender: He could be a storage closet for outdated pants.
Beck: I like 'em tight.
Bender: My broken friend could do it all,
Beck & Bender: Just give him a chance!
Bender: That robot has a tragic secret
That I'd like to share.
Beck: For real?
Bender: My broken friend is closer to me than an ass to a chair.
Beck: Mmmm.
Bender: That robot's name I never told you...
Beck: What's that?
Bender: ...you could not foresee.
Beck: C'mon, give it up.
Bender: I sing it loud and sing it proud,
Beck & Bender: His name is you and me!
Bender: Don't melt me down into a crowbar,
Beck: It suffers alone,
Bender: Just 'cause I can't move my arms and legs. [He starts moving his arms and legs]
Beck: Hey!
Bender: Or toss me into a trash can,
Beck: Bender, what are you doin'?
Bender: Just 'cause I can't cook you ham and eggs.
Beck: What are you doin'?
Bender: Don't crush me into an anchor,
Beck: Yo, what the dilly-o?
Bender: Just 'cause I can't jump and dance and sing
I'm telling you, my broken friend...
Put your hands in the air like you just don't care!
Beck: Nope.
I'm telling you, my broken friend
Can do most anything!
Yeah!

And if you promise not to sue us,
You can shove one up your nose.

Amy: [spoken] Pfft! That's just a fake holiday you make up every year to get out of work!
Fry: [spoken] Yeah, if it's real, how come there's no song that explains how you celebrate it?

[Fry gets out a holophonor; the Professor, a fiddle; and Dr. Zoidberg, an accordion, and start playing klezmer music.]

But its ancient sounding customs are exceptionally newish.
So take a hearty swallow from your robo-kiddish cup,
Which will give me time to quickly make them up.

Bender: Mine is called a droidel and it's rigged to make you pay.
Amy: Do you eat these yummy tin-wrapped chocolate coins?
Bender: Better!
We got fembots with illegal five-speed groins!
Shalom, Ruth and Esther!
Ruth: Why with the music so loud?
Esther: Would it kill him to turn up the heat a little in here?
Bender: But by far the most important thing is oil.
Leela: To keep the lamp light burning or to help the latkes broil?
Bender: No, we pour the holy lubricant out from the sacred vessel
Into this blessed pit so they can wrestle.
Planet Express crew: The extra made-up touch that makes Robanukah so special
Is the oil in which the nasty fembots wrestle.

That Was Then And This Is Too

Original performance in the style of Frank Sinatra.
Performed by Seth MacFarlane in Into the Wild Green Yonder. Available as a karaoke track in Volume 7.

MacFarlane: You and I will be reborn
In a future place and time
If everything our Hindu brethren say is true
In an age of things that hover
You and I will still be lovers
And we'll say to ourselves
"That was then, this is too"
Heads: Doo doo doo-doody doo doo da-doo doo doo
MacFarlane: 'Cause we'll still find the happenin' hot spots
We'll still cruise the cool casinos
You'll still fly me to the moon
Although the moon to which you'll fly me could be Phobos or Deimos
The psychic worms from Rigel 9
Who control ev'rything we do
Will make us think that was then
And three thousand and ten
Is exactly the same as nineteen sixty two
Don't expect any changes, my friend
That was then, and this is too—!

What a sorry fella! Rolled up and smoked like a panatella,

Let's let lady luck decide what type of torture's justified
I'm pit boss here on Level Two!

I'm sure at least one of us will be spared
So just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Fixing cockfights
Publishing indecent magazines
You'll pay for every crime
Knee deep in electric slime
You'll suffer till the end of time

Performed by Whalers on the Moon in "The Series Has Landed".

Whalers: We're whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon,
For there ain't no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.

The Xmas Song

Original performance.
Performed by Robot Santa Claus, one of his aides (a Neptunian elf), Leela, Professor Farnsworth, and the Planet Express crew in "The Futurama Holiday Spectacular".

Fry [spoken]: Can someone please explain how you celebrate this crazy holiday? Preferably in song?
Robot Santa: It's the violentest season of the year.
Neptunian elf: Old Kringle-bot has come to spread some mugs of Xmas fear.
Robot Santa: Sugar-plummy visions will be dancing in your head
When I cane you from the comfort of my sled.
Leela: On Xmas Eve, we don our gay apparel,
Kevlar vests, asbestos stockings and a barrel.
Professor Farnsworth: And if Grandma's Xmas fruitcake finally reaches critical mass,
It can be regifted straight to Santa's ass.
Robot Santa: But the ornamental armaments are merely superficial,
The tinsel and the trappings are just icing on the missile.
The one thing that you need to make your Xmas day splendiferous
Is a pine tree; a pine tree that's coniferous.
Planet Express crew (except Amy): We have to have a pine tree as coniferous.
Robot Santa [spoken]: You're welcome.
