Workers:
So they say Captain Hammer’s become a crusader
Political, he’s cleaning up the streets
(About time)

Hammer Fans:
So they say that it’s real love
So romantic
(He signed this)

Penny:
So they say we’ll have blankets and beds
We can open by Monday thanks to you
(Thanks to me)

Newsanchors:
It’s the perfect story
So they say, a hero leading the way
Hammer’s called to glory
Let’s all be our best
(Next up, who’s gay?)

Hammer Fans:
So they say he saved her life
They say she works with the homeless
And doesn’t eat meat
We have a problem with her
(This is his hair)

Hammer:
This is so nice
I just might sleep with the same girl twice
They say it’s better the second time
They say you get to do the weird stuff
(We do the weird stuff)

Penny:
This is perfect for me, so they say
I guess he’s pretty ok
After years of stormy
Sailing have I finally found the bay?

Moist:
( "He’s still not picking up")

Horrible:
There’s no happy ending
So they say
Not for me anyway
Should I stop pretending

Horrible:
Stop pretending, take the chance to build a brand new day

Penny:
Or is this a brand new day

Hammer Fans:
This is his dry cleaning bill
Four sweater vests

    It's so hard to pick favorites in the Dr. Horrible songs, but I think this might just be my favorite song. I love the "hammerettes" especially the last line. "Four sweater vests!" They're great singers. And then I just love how one verse can be so meaningful (penny/dr. horrible's about happy endings) and another verse from the same song can be so silly (captain hammer's)

    "We do the weird stuff!"
