Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion & Felicia Day - A Man's Gotta Do Lyrics

Music and Lyrics by Jed Whedon
Performed by Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, and Felicia Day

HORRIBLE
A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do
Don’t plan the plan if you can’t follow through
all that matters: taking matters into your own hands
Soon I’ll control everything, my wish is your command

HAMMER
Stand back everyone, nothing here to see
Just imminent danger, in the middle of it, me
Yes, Captain Hammer’s here, hair blowing in the breeze
And the day needs my saving expertise

A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do
Seems destiny ends with me saving you
The only doom that’s looming is you loving me to death
So I’ll give you a sec to catch your breath

PENNY (in shock)
Thank you Hammer man, I don’t think I can
Explain how important it was that you stopped the van
I would be splattered I’d be crushed under debris
Thank you sir for saving me

HAMMER
Don’t worry about it…

A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do
Seems destiny ends with me saving you
When you’re the best, you can’t rest, what’s the use
There’s ass needs kicking, some ticking bomb to defuse
The only doom that’s looming is you loving me to death

PENNY (overlapping)
You came from above
I wonder what you’re Captain of
My heart is beating like a drum
Must be, must be in shock
Assuming I’m not loving you to death

HAMMER/PENNY
So please give me a sec to catch my breath

HORRIBLE (overlapping)
Are you kidding?
What heist were you watching?
Stop looking at her like that
Did you notice that he threw you in the garbage?
I stopped the van, the remote control was in my hand
Whatever
Balls
