Lyrics

Mike: Put that thing back where it came from, or so help me!
Get that thing away from me, you guys!
Put that thing back where it came from
Or I'll poke myself in the eye!

Sulley: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this year's company play starring, written and directed by Mike...
Mike: And produced!
Sulley: And produced by Mike Wazowski. Oh.

Mike: Put that thing back where it came from, or so help me!
(So help me!) So help me get by!
Put that thing back where it came from, or so help me!
(So help me!) I just gotta cry!

CDA Agent: Your seat is right over there, sir.

Baby Smitty as Boo: Boo!

Mike: There's a child, there's a child, there's a human child!
Running 'round the restaurant, this is really wild!
What in heaven's name will become of us
We who are living in Monstropolis?

Needleman as Randall: Alright, Wazowski, tell us where the kid is!
Mike: I will never talk! NEVER!

She's out of our hair
And just when I dare to care
She says "Au contraire
You're my pair
Of friends... I love you."

Claws: (sobbing)
Jimmy: Keep it together, man!

Cast Members: And so we put that kid back where she came from
And she helped us to find a better tomorrow, today!

Mike: Thank you! What a night for my mother to be in the audience, ladies and gentlemen! My mom! Thank you, Monstropolis!
