Lyrics[]
Libby: Come on, Stress Girlz, we can do this! I think...
Stress Girlz: Trying to be a little less
A-N-X-I-O-U-S
But our world is filled with stress
We're A-N-X-I-O-U-S
Gloria: Oh, no! Oh, jeez! Oh, gosh! Oh, dear!
Libby: Oh, my! Oh, boy! Big yikes! Much fear!
Candace: Mom, Phineas and Ferb are causing my constant anxiety!
Gloria: I'm in Big City to make art and be a poet (Stress Girlz: Uh-huh!)
But so far, lattes are my only way to show it (Stress Girlz: Oh, jeez!)
Libby: It's hard to overcome the smallest mental hurdle (Stress Girlz: Oh, gosh!)
I'm on vacation worried sick for my pet turtle
Candace: Wish that I could say that I'm feeling well-adjusted
Instead, I'm panicking my brothers can't get busted
Marcy: Deep down, I fear that with my friends I've been a liar (Sasha: Wait, what?)
On top of that, my cape is currently on fire
Stress Girlz: No shame when you feel so much stress
You're trying your best
There's so many ways we feel anxious
Life can be a bit of a mess
But take some solace that you're human
It's okay to feel this
Gloria: Hey, you, do you like this song? (Stress Girlz: Oh, nooooo)
Is it going too long? (Stress Girlz: Oh, jeeeeez)
There's a voice in my head (Stress Girlz: Oh, jeeeeez)
Saying you've made your point, put this to bed!
Libby: Maybe just one last chorus?
Gloria: Oh, yeah, no, totally. I-I didn't want to overstay our welcome. But obviously, we can't end the song on the bridge.
Libby: Oh, right, sorry, I didn't mean to assume that you were--
Gloria: No, no, you're fine. One more chorus is a great idea.
Candace: UGH, THIS IS STRESSING ME OUT!
Stress Girlz: Trying to be a little less (Come on!)
A-N-X-I-O-U-S (Let's go!)
This song is pretty good, we guess (Yeah!)
A-N-X-I-O-U-S (Sing it!)
No shame when you're feeling stress (Nope!)
A-N-X-I-O-U-S (Whoo!)
By the way, that spells "anxious"
Libby: I think they all know how to spell
Stress Girlz: Good point!
