We Hate This Curse
[VENDORS]
Ice cream, ice cream
Fresh corn on the cob
I got hot dogs
Beans, pinto beans

[FRANKINI]
Listen to them sing
I'm bursting at the seams
They're having so much fun
Do you know what this means?

[GOOMER]
They're hungry?

[FRANKINI]
No, they love me!

[GOOMER]
Oh, I'm hungry!

[FRANKINI]
Here go get some beans
Stop singing, just go!

[PIPER]
(spoken)
Frankini?
[FRANKINI]
Well, no need to be star-struck! Even though the star is here! Well. I just came by to see how much everyone is loving the musical gift that I've graciously given to Swellview! So...

[PIPER]
I'll sing for the group!

(sung)
We hate it, we hate it
We hate your stupid curse
We're sick of all the singing
And think you're the worst

[VENDORS]
We're sick of all the singing
And think you're the worst

[GOOMER]
(spoken)
That's not what he wanted to hear!

[FRANKINI]
I don't understand! How could anyone not find delight in this musical utopia?

[PIPER]
Want an example?
[FRANKINI]
Sure

[PIPER]
(sung)
These bro guys, these jocks
They're stuck here in your trance
They wanna throw the football
But are forced to dance

[VENDORS]
Instead of playing football
They are forced to dance

[FRANKINI]
(spoken)
Well, it's not my fault that some people are boring and don't understand the concept of whimsy!

[CAPTAIN MAN]
Step aside, Frankini!

[VENDORS]
(sung)
Enter the heroes

[FRANKINI]
Well, well, Kid Danger, The Captain
So nice of you to show
[KID DANGER & CAPTAIN MAN]
Sorry, but Frankini, it is time to go

[VENDORS]
The heroes tell the villain that's it's time to go

[CAPTAIN MAN]
(spoken)
That's right

[KID DANGER]
Yeah!
