Performed Songs are songs performed by the characters on the show, both original and non-original songs. Listed by song title.

Performed by Amy, Bender, Farnsworth, Hermes, Dr. Zoidberg and Bee in The Sting.
Lyrics:
Amy: In every life, we have some trouble.
Bender: But when you worry you make it double.
Bender/Amy: [singing] Don't worry! Bee happy! [Bender imitating bongoes]
Professor: The landlords say your rent is late.
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]
Hermes: Don't worry now, Amy! [The bee stings Hermes, who explodes. Amy skates up to the camera]
Amy: Okay, I'm happy! [She is stung and explodes, revealing Bender standing on the table]
Bender: Take us home, Bender! Don't worry! [The bee stings him]
Bee: Bee...
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!
"Elve's Xmas Song" - Original Performance
Performed by Bender, Leela, Fry, Neptunian Elves, Robot Santa in A Tale of Two Santas.
Neptunian Elves: We are free and clearly sober

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
Neptunian Elves: It's back to work on Xmas eve
Hooray.
Leela: And though your cold and tired 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 santas just a crummy empty handed jerk!
Then shut your yaps and back to work!

And we done the best we could

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 weren't stuck here frozen
I'd harpoon you in the eye

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.

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.
