Lyrics

• Standard version
• Movie version

Phineas: Oh yeah!

If you're lookin' for fun, baby, we're a shoo-in
But we're a little young to be doin' what we're doin', yeah

We've got heads full of dreams and sneakers full of feet
The world is our oyster and life is tastin' sweet

We're takin' off like we're in a supersonic jet
But if you think we've gone about as high as we can get, just watch
We're gonna kick it up a notch

Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Phineas: Oh, man, you know it's true (Kick it up a notch)
Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Phineas: We're gonna push on through (Kick it up a notch)
Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Phineas: We're not content to go with the flow (Kick it up a notch)
'Cause everybody knows summer rocks
But now we're ready to roll
All right, Slash, let's roll!

(Guitar solo)

Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Dr. Doofenshmirtz-2: Yeah, crankin' up the evil!
Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Dr. Doofenshmirtz-2: I'll cause political upheaval!
Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Dr. Doofenshmirtz-2: Yeah, I'm gonna get medieval on you!

Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Phineas: Oh, man, you know that's true (Kick it up a notch)
Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Phineas: We're gonna push on through (Kick it up a notch)
Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Phineas: Not gonna go with the flow
'Cause everybody knows summer rocks

But now we're ready to roll!

Phineas: Oh yeah!

If you're lookin' for fun, baby, we're a shoo-in
But we're a little young to be doin' what we're doin', yeah

We can do anything, we can go anywhere
We've got our pockets full of rockets and we're loaded for bear, oh yeah

Not talkin' 'bout a mundane day of the week
This ain't double dutch, kick the can, hide and seek, or hopscotch
So get yourself a platypus and a Dean guitar
'Cause if you think this summer's been great so far, just watch
We'll kick it up a notch

Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Phineas: It's just what we're gonna do
Ferb: Gonna kick it up a notch
Phineas: Take it up a level or two (Kick it up a notch)
Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Phineas: Yeah, I know where we're gonna go
'Cause everybody knows summer rocks
But now we're ready to roll

Summertime and the sky is blue
We can do anything we set our minds to

We've got heads full of dreams and sneakers full of feet
The world is our oyster and life is tastin' sweet

We're takin' off like we're in a supersonic jet
But if you think we've gone about as high as we can get, just watch
We're gonna kick it up a notch

Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Phineas: Oh, man, you know it's true (Kick it up a notch)
Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Phineas: We're gonna push on through (Kick it up a notch)
Ferb: Kick it up a notch
Phineas: We're not content to go with the flow (Kick it up a notch)
'Cause everybody knows summer rocks
But now we're ready to roll
All right, Slash, let's roll!

(Guitar solo)

Ferb: Kick it up a notch

Trivia

• Although the lyrics mention a Dean guitar, Slash's guitar of choice is a Gibson Les Paul.
• The music video shows more of Perry's musical talent, showing him rocking out on a bass guitar. The first time that he was seen playing an instrument was when he played a guitar solo to repel aliens ("The Lizard Whisperer").
• Phineas, Ferb and Buford are wearing their costumes as The Baljeatles, except Phineas isn't wearing his neck chain and black jacket ("The Baljeatles").
• Baljeet's face is on the drums most likely to the fact that Buford is the drummer and likes to pound Baljeet.
• The line "But we're a little young to be doin' what we're doin'" may be a reference to the line "That you seem a little young to do the things that you do" that the Building Engineer sings in the song Aren't You A Little Young? from "Rollercoaster: The Musical!"
• Second Dimension Doofenshmirtz did find not just one -but two- good rhymes for "evil", in opposition to Doofenshmirtz's failed attempts to do so as he tried to finish writing his own evil jingle ("Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?").
• This is one of two songs to be more than 4 minutes long. The other is The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire).
• The song was played in Disney's Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever! while everyone waited for the show to start.
• The stage is the same as the one for The Bettys concert in "Ready for the Bettys"
• The background projects spiral patterns, like the ones seen in Ready for the Bettys and Gimme a Grade.
• Povenmire and Marsh consider co-writing this song with Slash the surrealist moment of their lives. [1]
• This song is released in the music video website, Vevo (SlashVEVO) in YouTube July 26, 2011.
