[Chorus]
Stepping out into the darkness
In a world far below
Hold fast your determination
Through the ice and the snow

Someone creeping up behind you
Wonder where did he go?
Hold fast your determination
Is he friend, is he foe?

[FEMALES, (Males)]
Hold fast your determination
(Hold fast your determination)
Hold fast your determination
(Hold fast your determination)
Hold fast your determination

[Chorus]
Through the ice and the snow

[FEMALES, (Males)]
Hold fast your determination
(Hold fast your determination)
Hold fast your determination
(Hold fast your determination)
Hold fast your determination
[Chorus]
Is he friend, is he foe?

[SANS]
Human. Don't you know how to greet a new pal? Turn around and shake my hand

Hehehe, the old whoopee cushion in the hand trick. It's always funny

Hey, anyway, never thought that today
A little human in a striped shirt would come my way
What a gaffe, that's a laugh, when you shook my hand-
'Spose I should go 'head, say, hi
Hi. My name is Sans

I'm s'posed to be lookin' out for humans
But I just don't feel like capturin' you, man

There's lots to do, there's so much to see
Here in the underground, if you just stick with me
But watch out for my brother, if you do not mind
He's dedicated to capturin' one of your kind

I think that's him over there, so hide behind the light
Come on and trust me, kid, you're gonna be alright, uh huh
And don't worry about the gate, it's not gonna stop anyone
[PAPYRUS]
NOT GOING TO STOP WHO, SANS?

[SANS]
Don't feel bad, bro. It might stop any two. 'Sup?

[PAPYRUS]
You know what "SUP", brother! It's been eight days and you still haven't recalibrated the traps! You just stay outside your station! What are you even doing?

[SANS]
Staring at this lamp. It's really cool. Do you wanna look?

[PAPYRUS]
I don't have time, Sans! What if a human comes through?
I must be ready, get them before they're gone!
That way people will love and respect me
More than they do already! I will be THE ONE!

[SANS]
That doesn't rhyme

[PAPYRUS]
They won't believe I've captured a human
And the great Papyrus will get all that he deserves!
Like a hedge carved in the shape of my head
People will ask to be my friend, and I will accept with verve!
Can't you see it, brother? I will bathe in a shower of kisses every morning!

[SANS]
Well, maybe the lamp could help those kisses light up your life

[PAPYRUS]
SANS YOU ARE NOT HELPING, YOU LAZYBONES!

[SANS]
Take it easy. I've gotten a ton of work done today. A SKELE-ton

[PAPYRUS]
SANS!

[SANS]
Come on, you're smiling

[PAPYRUS]
I AM AND I HATE IT! Your rimshot interrupted my music! Why does someone so great as me have to work so hard to get some recognition?

[SANS]
Sounds like you're really working yourself... down to the bone


[PAPYRUS]
Ugh. I must get back to work! As for YOUR work, put a little more... BACKBONE into it!

Nyeh heh heh heh heh heh!
Heh

[SANS]
Hey. Come on out, it'll be okay
Better go, he might come this way
Or, if you want, you could stay
And listen to some jokes

Hey, one quick favor, if I may
My brother's been kind of down
And it would just make his day
If a human came to town

[SANS AND Chorus]
Hey (Hey) you're not in danger, don't fuss, (don't fuss)
He won't hurt you, Papyrus
If you keep going this way

[SANS]
See you around, kid

[Chorus]
Say (say)
What a lovely winter day
As the snow is falling down
To wash our cares away

Hold fast your determination
Hold as long the trail you go

Hold fast your determination
Going through the ice and snow
Please be good, as on you go
