We consider every day a plus
To spend it with a platypus
We're always so ecstatic
'Cause he's semi-aquatic
Our Ornithorhynchus anatinus
Brings smiles to the both of us
Life's never fuddy-duddy
With our web-footed buddy
When we're brushing our teeth, (ooh) it's better
Tying our shoes, (oh, yeah) it's better
Combing our hair, it's better
Like we're a cheese sandwich and he's the cheddar
Blinking our eyes, (oh, yeah) it's better
Breathing in and out, (so much better) it's better
Sitting in a chair, it's better
And taking a bath is a little bit wetter
Every day is such a dream
When you start it with a monotreme
He's duckbilled and he's beaver-tailed and hairy
(You know that he's hairy)
Everything's better with Perry
(Everything's better with Perry)
Everything's better with Perry
(Everything's better with Perry)
Everything is better with Perry
(Everything is better)
(Everything's better with Perry)
(Everything is better with Perry)
Everything's better and we
Just want to tell you Perry
Everything's better with you
(Better with you)
Background information[]
Martin Olson produced the demo for this song and released it to SoundCloud on September 13, 2010.[1]
Dan Povenmire and Martin Olson recorded the original demo in lo-fi in Povenmire's office at Disney using GarageBand and no mics.
Ornithorhynchus anatinus is the scientific name for a platypus.
The song seems to be a style homage of various songs from the 1970s and 1980s, the main influence being "I Want You Back" and "ABC" by The Jackson 5.
During one scene of the trailer and in a promotional image, Phineas' hair turns green. This error is not present in the movie itself. The same error is also seen during the Season 2 song A Better Best Friend ("The Lemonade Stand").
When "Breathing in and out" is said, the bottom of Phineas's shoes are blue instead of white.
