I'm going on a mission but something ain't right Even though I got my turret and my level is high Helping out Sir Hammerlock is all very cool, But chasing down the bullymongs is better with you With a game that's hoppin' and my friends with me There'll be no stopping us, wait and see I'm gaming tonight and I know it's true Fighting the good fight is better with you. Sitting at the table with papers and dice Playing with friends, but something ain't right Adventures in Forgotten Realms are all fun to do But crawling through a dungeon is better with you CHORUS I'm gonna marathon a favorite show tonight I got my DVDs but something ain't right It's great to hang around with Mal and his crew But bingeing on Firefly is better with you With a show that's hoppin' and my friends with me There'll be no stopping us, wait and see I'm chillin' tonight and I know it's true All my playin' time is better with you I'm chilling tonight and I know it's true All my playin' time is better with you

Today is a milestone, the space probe has come home! The world cheers and the scientists enjoy it. It's entering the atmosphere, but wait a minute, look here! Alien radioactivity, we must destroy it! CHORUS So, that's when they turned into zombies Shambling here and there, zombies everywhere Nowhere to go, nothing to do except eat Old ragged clothes to wear, never washing their hair They didn’t think it’d happen to them, but they turned into zombies Behind the medical supplies, something of a surprise Drums of experimental gas from the military. There is nothing to fear, but let's move them out of here. Lift it on the truck on the count of three. CHORUS Are we the only people left alive in the town? Communications are out, and the grid is down We have to stick together, help each other survive, until we can run… Run for our lives! All fans of astronomy, here is your chance to see An asteroid from outside our galaxy It's such a close fly-by, you can see it with your naked eye But don't worry, there's no danger from the proximity CHORUS They’re all zombies, whoa-oh-oh-oh Don’t let it happen to you!

CHORUS Come along, Pond, come along, Pond Where is the next place to go? We have all of time and space so let's Run and yell Geronimo! Let's go to Venice in the 16th century Romance for you and Rory, you won't notice me You two go on and give Venice a whirl I'll just be checking Calvierri's school for girls. Oi! Oi! Oi! CHORUS Here we are in Rio de Janeiro for some fun It certainly is cold, what happened to the sun? Oops, we're in Wales in 2015 Let's talk to those folks with the big drilling machine. Oi! Oi! Oi! CHORUS Let's go and visit Vincent van Gogh And see why there's a strange figure in the church window I feel bad you've forgotten someone who adored ya But don't worry, soon we will visit the Pandorica. Oi! Oi! Oi!

Things are bad in Columbia, about as bad as they can get Just gotta bring 'em the girl and they'll wipe away the debt But with Elizabeth by my side, you know she's gonna keep me supplied With all the things that I need, this time I'm gonna succeed CHORUS Come on, tell me Booker, catch! Found some ammo! Please tell me Booker, catch! Here's some money! And when too many of them attack, if I fall you'll bring me back Hey, here's some salts that I found in the trash! Booker, catch! Riding on the sky-line, seeing bad guys everywhere Need you to pick this lock, and then open up a tear Because before we are seen, I need money for the vending machine Upgrade my gear and my vigors too, with some help from you CHORUS Elizabeth, I'm running low, out of salts and short on ammo Right now I'm kinda pinned down, can you find anything laying around?

In stories that we read and see We run across things that are so scary That they have no name, or else so strange Think about them and you go insane But people are curious and want to know What are these things that affect us so In the interest of science, without further ado I will list them all for you. Let's go! Yeah, they're unnamable They have no names We fear them Because they're strange And have no name And usually want to eat us

I want to tell you something, I hope I'm not too bold Perhaps I shouldn't speak, but the absinthe has taken hold Normally I behave with decorum and tact, But looking at you now, I cannot hold back I tell you truly, my heart is your possession I mustn't, but I can't stop my absinthe confession Your choice of goggles shows you're tasteful and you're wise But don't put them on or I can't see your beautiful eyes The corset on your waist, though it fits you perfectly, That is where my own two arms should be I tell you truly my heart is your possession I mustn't, but I can't stop my absinthe confession It may not be proper, but I wanted you to hear The absinthe may be cloudy, but my mind is finally clear I’m just a man of flesh and bone and muscle I just can't resist those ruffles and that bustle And your clothing shows your practicality, Using gears and keys as such fine accessories I tell you truly my heart is your possession I mustn't, but I can't stop my absinthe confession

WARNING: DR. WHO SPOILERS, DARLING! CHORUS Run, you clever boy, and remember Invaders in your timeline, and a secret defender Attacked by the Great Intelligence and the whisper men She was there to save you, but you missed her again You went to Trenzalore to save your friends Even though you knew it meant that this was the end You fell and your good work was all erased Until Clara stepped in to guard you across time and space CHORUS So many times she chose to die and never run So you could carry on and be the clever one How do you survive in such a hostile world? With the unseen help of the Impossible Girl CHORUS

Going out to play Have some fun With my friends, and we’ve Just begun These things we love Bring us together Put a costume on and Make it even better Cosplayers rock the con Cosplayers rock the con Bringing to life a world where we belong Cosplayers rock the con

I took my baby gaming at the outskirts of town She pulled her miniatures out and put her dice bag down When the action started she just couldn't be stopped Rolling natural 20s every chance she got CHORUS She's my twenty-rollin' baby (roll those dice) She's my twenty-rollin' baby (roll those dice) When my baby starts rollin' everything'll be all right We started up the game about seven o'clock Saving the town from an evil warlock He was throwing his spells but everyone he'd try Was crashing up against my baby's 20 on the die CHORUS We were clearin' out the tower and having fun I looked at the clock and it was half past one She said now honey, don't get sore All I wanna do is play a little bit more

Got no money, no good at school Xander you were everybody’s fool But you got one of the biggest hearts around We can count on you when the chips are down Not a thinker, no good in a fight Seems like you can’t do anything right But you got one of the biggest hearts around We can count on you when the chips are down No superpower like Buffy No smarts like Willow No luck and talent like Oz But with your friends in trouble it’s Go Cat Go! Normal guy, all you got Love and loyalty, but that’s a lot You got one of the biggest hearts around We can count on you when the chips are down
