“Still Alive” by Ellen McLain
This was a triumph
I’m making a note here; “Huge success”
It’s hard to overstate
My satisfaction
Aperture Science:
We do what we must
Because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
But there’s no sense crying
Over every mistake
You just keep on trying
Till you run out of cake
And the science gets done
And you make a neat gun
For the people who are
Still alive
I’m not even angry
I’m being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart,
And killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you
Now, these points of data
Make a beautiful line
And we’re out of beta
We’re releasing on time
So I’m GLaD I got burned
Think of all the things we learned-
For the people who are
Still alive
Go ahead and leave me
I think I’d prefer to stay inside
Maybe you’ll find someone else
To help you?
Maybe Black Mesa?
That was a joke *Haha – Fat Chance*
Anyway this cake is great
It’s so delicious and moist
Look at me: still talking
When there’s science to do
When I look out there,
It makes me GLaD I’m not you
I’ve experiments to run
There is research to be done
On the people who are
Still alive
And believe me I am
Still alive
I’m doing science and I’m
Still alive
I feel fantastic and I’m
Still alive
While you’re dying I’ll be
Still alive
And when you’re dead I will be
Still alive

“Big Yellow Taxi” by Joni Mitchell
Late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot
The big yellow taxi
The big yellow taxi
The big yellow taxi
The big yellow taxi
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot
The big yellow taxi
The big yellow taxi
The big yellow taxi
The big yellow taxi
Took all the trees, put them in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to seem ’em
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot
The big yellow taxi
Hey farmer, farmer, put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot
The big yellow taxi
The big yellow taxi
The big yellow taxi
The big yellow taxi

“Mine Mine Mine” by Mel Gibson, David Ogden Stiers, and Disney Studio Chorus from Pocahontas
[Ratcliffe]
The gold of Cortes
The jewels of Pizarro
Will seem like mere trinkets
By this time tomorrow
The gold we find here
Will dwarf them by far
Oh, with all ya got in ya, boys
Dig up Virginia, boys
Mine, boys, mine ev’ry mountain
And dig, boys, dig ’til ya drop
Grab a pick, boys
Quick, boys
Shove in a shovel
Uncover those lovely
Pebbles that sparkle and shine
It’s gold and it’s mine, mine, mine
[English Settlers]
Dig and dig and dig and diggety …
Dig and dig and dig and diggety …
[Wiggins]
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny
[Ratcliffe]
Oh, how I love it!
[Wiggins]
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny
[Ratliffe]
Riches for Cheap!
[Wiggins]
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny
[Ratcliffe and Wiggins]
There’ll be heaps of it …
[Ratcliffe]
And I’ll be on top of the heap!
My rivals back home
It’s not that I’m bitter
But think how they’ll squirm
When they see how I glitter!
The ladies at court
Will be all a-twitter
The king will reward me
He’ll knight me … no, lord me!
It’s mine, mine, mine
For the taking
It’s mine, boys
Mine me that gold!
With those nuggets dug it…
It’s glory they’ll gimme
My dear friend, King Jimmy
Will probably build me a shrine
[Ratcliffe and Wiggins]
When all of the gold…
[Ratcliffe]
Is mine
[English Settlers]
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig!
[Smith]
All of my life, I have searched for a land
Like this one
A wilder, more challenging country
I couldn’t design
Hundreds of dangers await
And I don’t plan to miss one
In a land I can claim
A land I can tame
The greatest adventure is mine!
[Ratcliffe/English Settlers]
Keep on working, lands/Mine
Don’t be shirking, lands/Find a mother lode
Mine, boys, mind/Then find another load!
Mine me that gold/Dig! Dig! and diggety
Beautiful gold/Dig! Dig! for that gold
[All]
Make this island
My land!
[Ratcliffe]
Make the mounds big, boys
I’d help you to dig, boys
But I’ve got this crick in me spine
[Smith]
This land we behold …
[Ratcliffe]
This beauty untold …
[Smith]
A man can be bold!
[Ratcliffe]
It all can be sold!
[Ratcliffe/English Settlers ]
And the gold
Is …/So go for the gold
Mine!/We know which is here
Mine!/All the riches here
Mine!/From this minute
Mine!/This land and what’s in it is
Mine!
[Ratcliffe, Wiggins, and English Settlers]
Dig and dig and diggety-dig!
Hey nonny nonny nonny it’s mine!
