Rock Bottom Lyrics


Track A3:                              Back To The Beginning

All:                         Tick, tock!
                              It’s time to travel on a journey!
                              Tick, tock!
                              We’re turning back the hands of time!
                              The past becoming the future,
                              The future fading to black.
                              We’ll take a walk into history,
                              So stop the clock ‘cos we’re going back!
                              Time to pack,
                              Hit the track!

                              Going back to the beginning,
                              Rewinding the clock,
                              ‘Cos we’re singing and we’re spinning
                              Around on a rock.
                              Going back to the beginning,
                              Where evil was prime.
                              We’re on a journey to the dawn of time!

                              Going back to the beginning,
                              Rewinding the clock,
                              ‘Cos we’re singing and we’re spinning
                              Around on a rock.
                              Going back to the beginning,
                              Where evil was prime.
                              We’re going back in time!
                              Going back, going back!

Crater:                   You know we’re going back in time to where it - all began!
Crevice:                 And we don’t even need a Tardis or DeLorean!
Creek:                   Because we’re heading for the Stone Age if you want to be specific!
Timekeepers:        When man was brave
                              And lived in caves
                              And acted Neolithic!

All:                         Tick, tock!
                              We’re heading for a new horizon!
                              Tick, tock!
                              We’re bound for where it all began!
                              We’ll turn the tide of the seasons,
                              We’ll make the calendar crack.
                              We’ll take a walk into history,
                              So stop the clock ‘cos we’re going back!
                              Time to pack,
                              Hit the track!

                              Going back to the beginning,
                              Rewinding the clock,
                              ‘Cos we’re singing and we’re spinning
                              Around on a rock.
                              Going back to the beginning,
Where evil was prime.
                              We’re on a journey to the dawn of time!

                              Going back to the beginning,
                              Rewinding the clock,
                              ‘Cos we’re singing and we’re spinning
                              Around on a rock.
                              Going back to the beginning,
                              Where evil was prime.

Track A20:                                           Smile

Cliff:                      You see, BC, if you're feeling off colour, you know what you’ve got to do?
Bobby:                  No?

Cliff:                      You’ve got to
                              Smile just a little bit,
                              Giggle just a little bit,
                              That’s what you do!
                              Smile just a little bit,
                              Giggle just a little bit,
                              We know it’s true.
                              And when you smile just a little bit more,
                              Then you’ll find the sun come shining through!
                              So, smile just a little bit,
                              Giggle just a little bit.
You won’t be blue!

Coral:                    He’s right, BC, but that’s not the only way.
Bobby:                   No?

Coral:                    You’ve got to
                              Dance just a little bit,
                              Shimmy just a little bit,
                              That’s what you do!
                              Dance just a little bit,
Shimmy just a little bit,
                              We know it’s true.
                              And when you dance just a little bit more,
                              Then you’ll find the sun come shining through!
                              So, dance just a little bit,
Shimmy just a little bit.
                              You won’t be blue!



All:                         La, la, la, la, la, la,

Track A48:                                 Krakatoe-Or-Two

Crater:                       Deep in the depths of the big volcano Krakatoe-or-two,
Crevice & Creek:      Krakatoe-or-two!
Crevice:                    Dark evil plots are getting hot in Krakatoe-or-two!
Crater & Creek:         Krakatoe-or-two!
Creek:                       Watch your step, or you’ll stub your foot
And crack a toe or two!
Crater & Crevice:      Crack a toe or two!
Creek:                       Crack a toe or two!
Crater & Crevice:      Crack a toe or two!
Creek:                       Crack a toe or two!
Crater & Crevice:      Crack a toe or two!



Track A59:                                      Down Low

All:                         Down low!
Down low, down low!
We’re working way below!
(Whistle)
We whistle as we go!
Down low, down low!
We’re miners, don’t ya know!
(Whistle)
We go down low!
(Whistle)

We’re Argie, Bargie, Cheeky, Dippy,
Eggy, Floppy, Grouch!
And Morris is the bossy one
Who orders us about!
We dig around deep underground
To earn our daily dough.
And though we seem to be a team,
We always work so low!

Down low, down low!
We’re working way below!
(Whistle)
We whistle as we go!
Down low, down low!
We’re miners, don’t ya know!
(Whistle)
We go down low!
(Whistle)


We’re just the Mini Miners,
We’re not seven, we’re not dwarfs,
‘Cos that would be a very different
Musical, of course.
Our tune may sound familiar
But you must have heard it wrong,
‘Cos Disney own the copyright
To that specific song!

Down low, down low!
We’re working way below!
(Whistle)
We whistle as we go!
Down low, down low!
We’re miners, don’t ya know!
(Whistle)
We go down low!

We don’t know but we’ve been told...
We are worth our weight in gold!

Mini Miners are the best...
Helmet and a thermal vest!

Music keeps us all in line…
When we’re going down the mine!

Getting groovy underground...
We’re the best at getting down!

Get down! Get down!
Get down! Get down!
Get down…!


Down low, down low!
We’re working way below!
(Whistle)
We whistle as we go!
Down low, down low!
We’re miners, don’t ya know!
(Whistle)
We go down low!

Down low, down low!
We’re working way below!
For life is fine deep down a mine
And so we go
Down low…!
Whistle while you’re working
Way down low!

                              Rock Bottom rocks!





Track B7:                         Welcome To My Life (Reprise)

Bobby:                  I just give up. All my ideas are useless. I dreamed of being a success, but look at me now. The whole town is relying on me, and I can’t do a thing to help them. Gran, Gramps… I’ve let you down.

Bobby:                   Life...
Can be hard; I don’t know why,
And although I always
                              Try my best to pass the test,
                              I just stumble and I fall.

                              Dreams...
                              Seem to crumble into dust,
                              And the people say
You just can’t win, give up; give in,
                              So maybe I should never try at all.

                              So welcome to my life!
                              So welcome to my world!
                              A world where each day is the same
                              ‘Cos I’m failing again,
                              And my dreaming has to end.

                              So welcome to my life!
                              So welcome to my world!
                              A world where I hope and I pray
                              That I’ll make it some day,
                              But till then… I need a friend.

(Bobby moves over to the time-turner and sadly examines it, then slowly returns to the centre and sinks dejectedly to his knees to sing his final line.)

                              So welcome to my life!




Track B8:                                 Start All Over Again

All:                         There’s a secret! There’s a secret! There’s a secret!

                              There’s a secret if you’re seeking success,
                              Don’t be moody if you’re making a mess.
                              Failing’s just a way to learn and nothing less,
                              So don’t give up; don’t give in!

                              ‘Cos when it...
                              Falls apart, just start all over again!
                              All over again!
                              All over again!
                              Yes when it...
                              Falls apart, just start all over and then
                              Your goal is guaranteed!
                              That’s the only way to succeed!

                              There’s a secret! There’s a secret! There’s a secret!

                              There’s a secret so we’re singing this song,
                              Learn this lesson and your life will be long.
                              It’s all right to get it wrong so come along,
                              And don’t give up; don’t give in!

                              ‘Cos when it...
                              Falls apart, just start all over again!
                              All over again!
                              All over again!
                              Yes when it...
                              Falls apart, just start all over and then
                              Your goal is guaranteed!
That’s the only way to succeed!

(The Eggheads perform a short dance over the instrumental, then join in with the chorus once more.)

                              ‘Cos when it...
                              Falls apart, just start all over again!
                              All over again!
                              All over again!

                              Falls apart, just start all over and then
                              Your goal is guaranteed!

                              Persevere and stay true!
                              That’s the only way to…
                              Whoa………

(Bobby starts hatching an idea as the eggheads gather round and raise their arms towards him. We hear a bell as a large light bulb appears above Bobby’s head, held by one of the Eggheads.)

Group 1:                To succeed!
Group 2:                That’s the secret!
Group 1:                To succeed!
Group 2:                That’s the secret!
Group 1:                To succeed!

Track B28:                                    Spell On You

Lady Lava:             But I’ve saved some for you! You see, I have a way to get people to do what I want. And soon you, too, will be under my spell! (shouted) Arriba!

                              There’s a little thing I know,
                              It’s called magic!

All:                         Magic!

Lady Lava:            There’s a little thing I know, but don’t tell!
                              Oh I’ll be queen of the land and ocean!
                              With a sip of my magic potion!
                              Bow before me with deep devotion,
                              Underneath my spell!

All:                         Hocus pocus, one two three,
                              It’s just my evil recipe!
                              Hocus pocus, can’t you see?
                              I’m gonna put a spell on you!
                              Hocus pocus, follow me,
                              It won’t take long, I guarantee!
                              Hocus pocus, can’t you see?
                              I’m gonna put a spell on you!

Bobby:                  So what exactly do you put in this magic potion?
Lady Lava:            Bat toes.
Bobby:                  Well I can’t drink that. I’m bat toes intolerant.
Lady Lava:            Oh, you’ll drink it all right. And then you’ll be under my spell!

                              There is something you should know
                              About magic.

All:                         Magic!

Lady Lava:            It’s a special thing I do, and do well!
                              There’s a magical web I’m weaving,
                              Please just swallow and don’t keep heaving.
                              Just a drop and you’re soon believing,
                              Underneath my spell!

All:                         Hocus pocus, one two three,
                              It’s just my evil recipe!
                              Hocus pocus, can’t you see?
                              I’m gonna put a spell on you!
                              Hocus pocus, follow me,
                              It won’t take long, I guarantee!
                              Hocus pocus, can’t you see?
                              I’m gonna put a spell on you!

(Lady Lava brews her potion and calls out the ingredients in time to the music as everyone else sings and dances as if in a trance.)


Lady Lava:
Tongue of frog and toe of bat,
Leg of dog and eye of cat,
Brush of bog and woolly hat,
I’m going to put a spell on you!



All:
Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?
Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?
Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?
Gonna put a spell on you!


Lady Lava:
Yeti spit and mammoth meat,
The sweaty bits from gravel’s feet,
Simmer on a gentle heat,
I’m going to put a spell on you!

All:
Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?
Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?
Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?
Gonna put a spell on you!



Group 1:
Hocus pocus, one two three,
It’s just my evil recipe!
Hocus pocus, can’t you see?
I’m gonna put a spell on you!

Group 2:
Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?
Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?
Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?
Gonna put a spell on you!

Hocus pocus, one two three,
It’s just my evil recipe!
Hocus pocus, can’t you see?
I’m gonna put a spell on…
Gonna put a spell on…
Gonna put a spell on you!


Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?
Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?
Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?
Gonna put a spell on…
Gonna put a spell on…
Ooh-waa! What you doing to me?


All:                         Gonna put a spell on you!



Track B33:                    Back To The Beginning (Reprise)

Crater:                   We’re safe and sound and BC’s found the secret to success!
Crevice:                 And Lava’s got her youth back but her nappy’s quite a mess!
Creek:                   Our tale of old is nearly told and cannot be forgotten!
Timekeepers:        The tale of Bobby Cobblestone, the hero of Rock Bottom!

All:                         Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
                              Going back to the beginning,
                              Rewinding the clock,
                              ‘Cos we’re singing and we’re spinning
                              Around on a rock.
                              Going back to the beginning,
                              Where evil was prime.
                              We’re on a journey to the dawn of time!

                              Going back to the beginning,
                              Rewinding the clock,
                              ‘Cos we’re singing and we’re spinning
                              Around on a rock.
                              Going back to the beginning,
                              Where evil was prime.

Group 1:                We’re going back in time!
                              We’re going back in time!
                              We’re going back in time!
                              We’re going back in time...

Group 2:                Ain’t no turning back now!
                              Ain’t no turning back now!
                              Ain’t no turning back now!

Timekeepers:        Going back, going back!
                              Going back, going back!
                              Going back, going back!

All:                         Ain’t no turning back now,
We’re going back!
