Hermes: You may have to litigate.

Professor/Hermes/Bender: Don't worry! [Bender opens his chest and releases a bee, which stings the Professor in the head]

Bee: Bee...

Professor: Happy! [The Professor swells up and explodes. Zoidberg appears on a stage, his name displayed behind him in neon lights]

Zoidberg: Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style, ladies vomit when I smile. But does Zoidberg worry? Feh, you wish! [The bee stings him]

Bee: Bee...

Zoidberg: Happy! [He explodes. Hermes skates into view, carrying Amy]

Bender: Happy! [Bender explodes into a firework display. When the smoke clears, everyone is sitting around as if nothing had happened]

"Bureaucrat Song" - Original Performance

Performed by Hermes, LaBarbara, Dr. Zoidberg, Farnsworth, Leela, Bender, Morgan Proctor in How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back.

Lyrics:

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 say 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 tenth birthday party.

LaBarbara: But something changed when my man turned pro.

Hermes: I was sorting but I wasn't smiling

LaBarbara: He forgot that it's not about badges and ranks

Hermes: It's supposed to be about the filing!

People,

We didn't choose to be bureaucrats

No that's what our mighty Ja made us

We treat people like swine and make them stand in line

Even if nobody paid us

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

Zoidberg!

Zoidberg: They said I probably shouldn't be a surgeon

Farnsworth: They poopooed my electric frankfurter

Leela: They said I probably shouldn't fly with just one eye

Bender: I am Bender please insert girder

Hermes: Everybody sing Jamaica!

All: Jamaica!

Hermes: Just the bureaucrats - Jamaica!

Bureaucrats: Jamaica!

Hermes: Just the grade nineteens!

Morgan Proctor: ...Jamaica.

Hermes: Sing me home,

When push comes to shove you gotta do what you love

Even if it's not a good idea!

"I'll Shoot Her With My Railgun" - Original Performance (to the tune of She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain)

Performed by Bender in The Series Has Landed

Lyrics:

Bender: Well I'll shoot her with my railgun when she comes.

Yes, I'll shoot her with my railgun when she comes.

Yes, I'll shoot her with my railgun, oh I'll shoot her with my railgun,

Yes, I'll shoot her with my railgun when she comes, when she comes.

I'll be blasting all the humans in the world,

I'll be blasting all the humans in the world,

I'll be blasting all the humans, I'll be blasting all the humans,

I'll be blasting all the humans in the world, in the world.

"My Broken Friend" - Original Performance

Performed by Bender, Beck in Bendin' in the Wind.

Lyrics:

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 say 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's 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!

I'm telling you my broken friend

Can do most anything!

Yeah!

"Popplers Song" - Original Performance (to the tune of Sailor's Hornpipe)

Performed by Fry, Bender in The Problem with Popplers

Lyrics:

Pop a Poppler in your mouth,

When you come to Fishy Joe's,

What they're made of is a mystery,

Where they come from, no one knows.

You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em,

You can chew 'em, you can stick 'em,

And if you promise not to sue us,

You can shove one up your nose.
