"Race to the tower of power"

Pablo:
wa-ha-ha-haaa!

Tyrone:
wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

Pablo
wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

Tyrone:
wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

Both:
wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

I'm pablo.

I'm tyrone.

And we are...

Super villains!

Both:
wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

That means
we're bad guys

With extra special
powers.

I am yucky man,

With the power
to make things yucky -

Like this!

"Slide, get gooey!"

(Sniffs)

Yuck!

Exactly.

And I am dr. Shrinky,

With the power to make
anything small -

Like this!

"Slide, shrink!"

It's teeny!

Exactly.

Hey,
what should we do

With our super villain powers
today, yucky man?

Something extra-super
villainous!

Like...
Take over the world?

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

Yes!

Take over the world,
by capturing...

The key to the world!

That's hidden in...
The tower of power!

Both:
wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

* We are yucky,
we are evil *

* We are not
the nicest people *

* We are super villains!

* With our nasty superpowers

* Soon the world
will be ours! *

* We are super villains! *

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!

Pablo:
* they call me yucky man

* I'm villainous
and tricky *

* I won't stop
till all the world *

* Is smelly, gross,
and sticky *

Tyrone:
* they call me dr. Shrinky

* And heroes find out why

* When they're shorter
than my pinky *

* And dinky as a fly

* We are yucky,
we are evil *

* We are not
the nicest people *

* We are super villains!

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!

We just have to watch out
for our mortal enemies -

Superheroes!

'Cause superheroes
always try to stop

Super villains like us.

C'mon, yucky man.

Let's go hide
in the forest of darkness,

And make a plan to capture
the key to the world!

Yeah, before any super
heroes can protect it!

Both:
wa-ha-ha-ha-haa!

Uniqua:
to the rescue!

Austin:
to the rescue!

Hi,
we're superheroes!

Both:
to the rescue!

I'm weather woman,

The superhero with the power
to change the weather!

Weather change -
rain!

And I'm captain hammer,

The superhero with the power
to build anything!

Build an umbrella!

Whack!

Superheroes always
do good things!

For instance,
we keep the key to the world

Safe from super villains.

When they try to take it,
we come...

Both:
to the rescue!

* We are strong,
we are brave *

* And the world we will save

* We are superheroes

* We are good,
we are kind *

* Any trouble we will find

* We are superheroes

To the rescue!

Uniqua:
* my name is weather woman,

* And I can make a storm

* I bring the wind
and rain *

* Or make it really warm

Austin:
* captain hammer here
to sing *

* My power never fails

* I can build most anything *

* Even without nails

* We are strong,
we are brave *

* And the world we will save

* We are superheroes

To the rescue!

(Sniffs)

I smell something...
Yucky!

Weather woman,
look!

(Gasps)

This looks like the work of...
Super villains.

Oh no.

I bet they're up to bad stuff.

We better find them.

You're right!

They're probably hiding
in the forest of darkness!

Where there are
tall trees!

Uniqua:
and dark skies!

Austin:
and spooky music!

It sure is dark
in the forest of darkness.

Yup and yucky,

Just like
the super villains.

C'mon,
let's find them.

Both:
wa-ha-ha-ha-haa.

C'mon, dr. Shrinky,

We must leave
the forest of darkness,

Go and capture
the key to the world

From the tower
of power.

Yes, we must!

But where exactly
is the tower of power?

There!

Through the woods,
and across the land of cold!

When we capture the key,
we'll rule the world!

Pablo:
* key to the world

* The key to the world

* In the tower of power *

* In the tower of power

Tyrone:
* if we get the key
we'll win *

* Our evil empire will begin

* We won't let
the superheroes in *

Both:
* to the tower of power

* The tower of power

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

Pablo:
* the tower of power
is very tall *

* And up in the top
is the key *

Tyrone:
* the key

* We'll find it,
and grab it, *

* And keep it,
and have it, *

* And rule the world,
you and me *

Pablo:
* key to the world

* The key to the world

* In the tower of power *

* In the tower of power

Tyrone:
* let's hurry now
and grab it quick *

* So we can fill
the world with ick *

* The superheroes

(Spoken)
they make me sick.

Both:
* to the tower of power

* The tower of power

Pablo:
well, what are we waiting for,
dr. Shrinky,

Let's go!

Both:
wa-ha-ha-ha-haa!

Both:
not so fast,
super villains!

Both:
(gasp) superheroes!

That's right.

Where do you think
you're going?

Uh...
To the tower of power,

So we can rule
the world?

Oh no you don't!
We'll catch you!

Both:
run!

We're going
to get you!

No you won't!

Stop them,
yucky man!

Ground,
get sticky!

Rrrrgh...
Sticky mud!

We're stuck!

Tyrone:
bye bye, superheroes.

Pablo:
sorry we can't...
"Stick" around.

(Maniacl laughter)

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

(Struggling grunts)

I'll try to dig us out!

Oh man,
my hand is stuck!

Don't worry,
weather woman,

I'll build something
to save us.

Hmm...

Hey,
I know just what we need.

Build a mud-sucking
vacuum cleaner!

Whack!

Way to go,
captain hammer!

C'mon!

We can't let the villains
get to the tower of power

Before we do!

Both:
to the rescue!

(Shivers)

Brrr! I guess we've reached
the land of cold.

And there's
the tower of power!

Austin:
but look...

There go the super villains!

They're way closer
to the tower

Than we are!

I don't see those superheroes
anywhere, yucky man.

That's because
they're probably still...

Both:
stuck in the mud!

Wa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Dr. Shrinky, look!

Tyrone:
the tower of power!

C'mon, we're almost there!

How are we gonna catch
those super villains?

I know.

Build us a boat,
captain hammer!

A boat?!

What good will that do
on the ice?

There's no time to explain -
trust me.

Well, okay.

Build a boat!

Whack!

Now what?

Now I'll use
my superpowers.

Weather change -
hot!

The ice, it's...

Both:
melting! Aaaahhhh!

Whoa!
How'd that happen?

Uniqua:
nice day for a swim,
super villains?

Tyrone:
very funny,
weather woman!

Now we can get
to the tower first,

And protect the key
to the world!

Both:
to the rescue!

Pablo:
no, oh no!

They're getting
ahead of us!

We're going backward,
they're going forward...

Tyrone:
pablo?

Pablo:
yup. They're gonna
get there first.

What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?!

Tyrone:
pablo!

Pablo:
yeah?

There's only one thing
we can do!

What's that?

Think!

Oh yeah.

Hmm...

Hey, I know!

You do?

Yeah!

If there's one thing
that superheroes don't like,

It's goo.

So watch this!

Water,
turn to gobbly goo!

(Sniffs)

I smell something funny.

(Sniffs)
me too.

Both:
ewww! Goo!

(Struggling grunts)

The water's turned
into gobbly goo!

It's disgusting!

Pablo:
yes!

And that's just the way
we like it!

Tyrone:
yup!

You can't defeat
the power of yuck!

Nope!
So long superheroes!

Both:
wa-ha-ha-ha-haa!

Both:
eeew!

* We're in a sea
of gobbly goo *

Austin:
* it smells
and it's gross *

Uniqua:
* and it's dark
and morose *

Austin:
* and I got some
on my shoe *

* In the sea
of gobbly goo *

We've got to get
out of here!

Well, I guess there's
only one thing to do -

Get out and push.

Both:
ewwww...

Uniqua:
this is so gross.

* It's mucky,
and grimy *

Austin:
* and yucky,
and slimy *

Uniqua:
* and my face
is turning blue *

Austin:
it's blue?

Uniqua:
* from the sea
of gobbly goo *

Uniqua:
eeew!

Austin:
eeew!

Both:
* we're in a sea
of gobbly goo *

* What will we do,
what will we do, *

* Got to get out
of this gobbly goo *

Uniqua:
* got to get out
of this gobbly goo! *

Both:
eeew!

We've got to think of
something, captain hammer!

The villains are gonna b*at us
to the tower of power!

Maybe I could build
something to get us there.

How about a bridge
from here to the shore?

Perfect!

Build a bridge!

Whack!

Uniqua:
great work,
captain hammer.

Let's go!

Both:
to the rescue!

Pablo:
ahhh, looks like we've
won again, dr. Shrinky.

Yup. There's no way
the superheroes

Will get out of that goo.

All we have to do

Is walk up to the tower
of power,

And the key to the world
will be ours.

Tyrone:
then we'll control the world!

Both:
wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!
Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

Uniqua:
hi.

Pablo:
hi, superheroes.

Both:
superheroes?!

How did you escape
the clutches

Of my yucky goo?

Oh,
just the super bridge.

Super bridge?

I should have known.

Now we're gonna get
to the tower first!

C'mon, weather woman!

Oh no, you don't!

C'mon, yucky man!

* We are strong,
we are brave, *

* And the world,
we will save! *

* We are superheroes

(Spoken)
to the rescue!

* With our nasty superpowers

* Soon the world will be ours!

* We are super villains *

Wa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!

Pablo:
* yucky man sends
yucky bugs *

* To ruin the heroes day

* I'll create a mighty wind

* And blow those bugs away

Austin:
* behold my hammer power!

* I'll catch you
with this net! *

Tyrone:
* my shrinky-power stops you

* You haven't got us yet!

Pablo:
* I'll stop those pesky heroes *

* With a blobby blast of goo!

Uniqua:
* I'll freeze
that blob of goo *

* And catch you villains too!

* We are strong,
we are brave, *

* And the world,
we will save! *

* We are superheroes!

* With our nasty superpowers,

* Soon the world will be ours!

* We are super villains! *

To the rescue!

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaa!

Pablo:
we made it to the tower!

Now we need to get to the top
and grab the key!

But here come
the superheroes!

What will we do?

I know!

We'll fake 'em out!

Let's pretend
to be tired...

And then, when they fall
for our trick,

We'll get 'em!

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

Here they come!

(Panting)

Uniqua:
villains, halt!

Pablo:
it's okay...

You win, superheroes.

We're too tired...

To climb the tower.

You guys go ahead.

Great!
Now's our chance!

Pablo:
now, dr. Shrinky!

Tyrone:
captain hammer, shrink!

Captain hammer!

Tiny austin:
uh-oh!

Uniqua:
you shrunk captain hammer?!

Tiny austin:
uh-ha.

Are you okay?

Tiny austin:
yes, I'm fine!

But the villains
are going in the tower!

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haa!

Now the key to the world
will be ours!

But what about
weather woman?

Ehh. She can't defeat us
without captain hammer.

And he's...

Both:
teensy!

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

Oh! Whoa!

Whoa!

That certainly is
a lot of stairs.

Forward,
dr. Shrinky!

We must get
to the top!

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

Uniqua:
now what are we going to do?

Tiny austin:
we've got to stop them!

Uniqua:
what?

Tiny austin:
we've got to stop them!

What?!

I said,
we've got to stop them!

Oh.
Yes, you're right,

But they shrunk you.

I know they did!

But I'm still
a brave superhero,

And we've got to stop them!

We've got to get to the top
of the tower before they do?

* Time is running out

* We don't know what to do

* My mighty super partner

* Is smaller than my shoe

Austin:
* we can't let that stop us

* We've still got superpower

* The evil yucky villains

* Are climbing up the tower

Uniqua:
* is there any way
to get there? *

* Our chances may be zero

Austin:
* but I will not give up

* 'Cause I'm a superhero! *

* It's you and me
to the rescue! *

* We've got to try something

* We can't just do nothing!

* It's you and me
to the rescue! *

* We can't sit on our hands

* We've got to make a plan!

C'mon captain hammer,

We're going to the top
of the tower!

Weather change -
make a twister!

Hold on tight!

Both:
whoaaaaaaa!!!

Pablo:
at last!

The key to the world,
dr. Shrinky!

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!

Tyrone:
now, yucky man,
we will rule the world.

Wa-ha-ha-ha-haa!

Uniqua:
not so fast,
super villains!

Weather woman!

Tiny austin:
you'll never get the key!

Pablo:
what?

Tiny austin:
you'll never get the key!

Tyrone:
what?

Uniqua:
he said,
you'll never get the key!

Tyrone:
oh.

Nonsense!

You and your teensy,
weensy friend

Can't defeat us now!

Both:
that's what you think,
super villains!

Shrink her,
dr. Shrinky!

Goo her,
yucky man!

(Gasps)

Aaaaaaah!!!!

Tiny austin:

Tiny austin:

(Giggles)

Please.

Pablo:

Hmm.

If we let you out,
you have to promise something.

Pablo:
okay!

Tyrone:

Pablo:

Tyrone:

Promise that
you'll be superheroes.

And instead of stealing
the key to the world,

Promise that you'll help us
protect it!

Both:

Tyrone and pablo:

Austin:

Tyrone:

Uniqua:

Now, I'm dr. Grow...

The superhero!

And I'm not yucky man
