"Busted" is a song from the Phineas and Ferb episode, "I Scream, You Scream", and is a duet by Candace Flynn and Vanessa Doofenshmirtz. In "Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown", "Busted" (in its extended version) was the 3rd favorite song chosen by Phineas and Ferb fans. The song is about their mutual desire to prove the truth to their claims of the wild stunts Phineas and Ferb are doing (Candace), and that Dr. Doofenshmirtz is a super-villain (Vanessa).
Lyrics
Vanessa: I can see the things you're doin'
And you think that I'm naïve
But when I get the goods on you,
she'll finally believe
Candace: Well she says it's all just drama
But every bubble's got to pop
She's gonna see just what you're doin'
Both: And then you're finally gonna have to stop!
Don't think you're gonna win this time,
'cause you better believe I'm gonna drop a dime on you!
I'll get ya! (yeah)
I'll get ya!
And when I do, you're gonna be busted!
(Busted!)
I don't wanna put the hurt on you
But you better believe me when I tell you
that I finally got the dirt on you
You're busted
(Busted!)
Vanessa: Yeah, she's finally gonna see the light
Both: This is how it's gonna be
when she finds out that I was always right
You're busted!
Both: There's a new cop on the beat
And I'm bringing down the heat
Candace: My eyes are wise to all your lies,
'cause you're not that discreet
Vanessa: And I don't care what you've heard,
Both: 'cause there's one six-letter word
Vanessa: It's gonna set me free
Candace: (Gonna set me free)
Vanessa: It starts with a "B"!
Candace: (Starts with a "B"!)
Both: It goes B-U-S-T-E-D!
You are busted!
(Busted!)
Both: I don't wanna put the hurt on you
But you better believe me when I tell you
that I finally got the dirt on you
(I'll get ya!)
You're busted
(Don't think you're gonna win this time)
Vanessa: Yeah, she's finally gonna see the light
(Drop a dime on you)
Both: This is how it's gonna be
when she finds out that I was always right
(I'll get ya! I'll get ya!)
You're busted!
