This is a jokey song I wrote for "Phineas and Ferb's" "Rollercoaster: The Musical." I thought it was funny that Dad, Buford, Baljeet and Irving weren't in the original "Rollercoaster" episode, which was the first one Dan and Swampy wrote, so I came up with this song to explain it. Obviously, it was not included in the episode so is not technically an offcial "Phineas and Ferb" song and, therefore, doesn't fall under the same "do not post" restrictions as the other "Phineas" demos Martin and I were asked to take down. i still kinda dig it, though and wish it had gotten in. Please excuse the tag with Baljeet swearing. It seemed amusing at the time and I forgot it was on there. Not for younger listeners, okay?

Where The Heck Were WE?!
Words and music by Jon Colton Barry

(sung by Baljeet, Dad, Buford, and Irving) 

When Phineas and Ferb built the Rollercoaster
We mysteriously were not around
But looking back on that day now
Doesn’t it seem really strange how
We were nowhere to be found

Baljeet: Perhaps I was doing lots of extra credit science
Buford: So I was waiting outside the school to beat ‘im
Dad: I might have been refurbishing some old antique appliance
Irving: I guess I still hadn’t even yet worked up the nerve to meet ‘em
Either way…

When Phineas and Ferb built the Rollercoaster
We mysteriously were not around
But looking back on that day now
Doesn’t it seem really strange how
We were nowhere to be found

Dad: It’s an engineering marvel,
Buford: I can’t believe I missed it!
Bajeet: I would have thrown up twenty, thirty times
Irving: If I’d have been there, I’d have kissed it!
Oh well…

I guess there’s no rewriting history
So we just stopped by to say
It’s really quite strange in retrospect
That none of us were there that day!

This is a space for various rough songs, "Phineas and Ferb" demos, and other oddities that I feel like throwing in there for fun. Feedback is welcome!
