Now and Forever

One perfect pebble
Just one humble stone
But oh, what a stone can do
It means that I have one love forever
And one love alone
A now and forever with you

BOY PENGUINS:
Now and forever
I'll show her I care
I'll find her the rarest stone
And maybe if the pebble is perfect
She'll tell me right there
She's now and forever my own

GIRL PENGUINS:
Now and forever
We'll do like birds do
We'll cuddle and coo and kiss
We'll have a little world where
Whatever we dream of comes true
A now and forever in bliss

MARINA:
I will know when, Gwen
'Cause it's not the pebble, it's the penguin
Now and forever
His heart will be true
That's how I'll know who he is
No matter if his pebble is clever
Or borrowed or blue
I'll now and forever be his

BOY PENGUINS:
Do you take this pebble?

GIRL PENGUINS:
Now and forever

BOY PENGUINS:
Do you take this penguin?

GIRL PENGUINS:
Now and forever

BOY PENGUINS:
Do you?

GIRL PENGUINS:
I do

CHORUS:
We will grow old together
Cozy in cold together
We'll try our best together
Further our nest together
We'll be a pair forever
Learning to share forever

CHORUS 2:


It's now and forever
And ever and ever
It's now and forever
And ever and ever
Now and forever
As sure as the snow
As long as the ocean roars
I'll love you in a way that
I'll never begin to outgrow
I'll now and forever be yours

Sometimes I Wonder

HUBIE:
Sometimes I wonder what the colors mean
Why the sea is green like your eyes
I'm sorry...

MARINA (SPOKEN):
Go on.

HUBIE:
Sometimes I wonder why the moon is new
Where the stars are shooting to
When they're shooting through the skies
There's wondrous things that I would like to know
Like how they make the winds and turn the tides
And then I wonder why I wonder so
While other guys are busy choosing brides

Oh, where was I...

MARINA (SPOKEN):
Choosing...brides!

HUBIE:
Sometimes I wonder if there'll ever be
Someone right for me
Someone who may wonder too
Who's wonderful
Like y-y-y-y-I don't know
Like y-y-y--

HUBIE (SPOKEN):
You must be bored to tears with all this wacky nonsense.

MARINA (SPOKEN):
Oh, no! I don't think it's nonsense at all.
Even if you are a bit wacky.

The Good Ship Misery

If you're in to pain and agony (Agony)
If you love the great indoors
Welcome to the Good Ship Misery
The misery's all yours

Everyday begins with misery (Misery)
Breakfast in a rusty cup
Then we all get dull and miserable
And then we all throw up

The boots have got the place so hot
That to your spot you've got the rock and roll

There's never sun!
The rats have run!
Does anyone remember fun?
No! No! No! No!
Just thought I'd ask!

If you're thinking this could never be (Think again!)
If you're thinking it's the Ritz (Fat chance!)
Sorry, but the Good Ship Misery is a reality
Hubie, baby, this is the pits!

You sit and think and pray you'll sink
Your muscles shrink, you start to stink
And when they cough that slimy slop
And drop a glop of some on top
It's woo!

Everyday's a total tragedy (Tragedy)
Then the days begin to blow
Getting bored aboard the misery
Is a redundancy
Is everybody miserable?
Now you're talkin'
Yes, sir!

Don't Make Me Laugh

Don't make me laugh
Don't make me laugh
My funny friend, don't make me bend in half
Don't be a card, babe
Don't mess with Drake
Don't make me laugh so hard that you begin to ache

Don't make me laugh
Don't pull my leg
May I suggest you would do best to beg
If you say no, miss
If you refuse
This is your notice that I refuse to lose

Say yes, my love
And go with a winner
Believe me, that would be wiser
Say no, poor dove
And you're a shark's dinner
And Hubie's the appetizer
Get the picture?

Don't make me laugh
Or slap my knee
I'm no hyena, so Marina
What'll it be?
Right this way to the Drake estate
Or write your epitaph

You choose your fate
Don't make me wait
And baby, don't make me laugh!

Sometimes I Wonder (Reprise)

Sometimes I close my eyes
And say a prayer
That finally today will be the day
I watch the far horizon, no one's there
But somewhere you are safe and on your way

Oh, Hubie...

Sometimes I wonder if you're still alive
How could you survive such a dangerous world out there?
Beware my love
Take care, my love, take care

Looks Like I Got Me A Friend

HUBIE:
Look how we get along together
I think it's great the way we blend
You've tried to be as tough as leather
But now I see that's just pretend
We'll find our way through stormy weather
Just you and me right to the end
Hey buddy, looks like we're two birds of a feather
And, gee, it looks like I got me a friend

Now you go

HUBIE & (ROCKO):
Look how we get along together
(You are incredibly annoying)
I think it's great the way we blend
(You're like a bone stuck in my throat)
You've tried to be as tough as leather
(This isn't something I'm enjoying)
But now I see that's just pretend
(I shoulda left you on that boat)
We'll find our way through stormy weather
(You want a friend? Go find a snail!)
Just you and me right to the end
(Or better yet, Killer Whale!)
Hey buddy, looks like we're two birds of a feather
(Don't call me buddy!)
And, gee, it looks like I got me a friend
(Uh uh! Not me!)

HUBIE:
Now you try!

ROCKO & (HUBIE):
When you're a rebel you're a rebel
(I really like me, just admit it)
You don't go finding friends to like
(Alright, I'm gonna hold my breath)
Why don't you pack your blasted pebble
(Quit it, admit it!)
And take yourself a healthy hike!
(But you know, you're gonna cause my death!)
They don't have penguins up in Juneau
(It's getting dark...)
Why don't you go and start a trend!
(G-g-g-goodbye, Rocko)

ROCKO:
Alright then!
I kinda sorta maybe you know...

HUBIE:
You mean you like me?

ROCKO:
A little

HUBIE:
You mean it?

ROCKO:
Don't push it!

BOTH:
Oh, looks like I got me a friend!

Now And Forever (Pop Version)

One perfect moment
Just one humble stone
But oh, what a stone can do
It means that I have one love forever
And one love alone
A now and forever with you

Now and forever
As sure as the snow
As long as the ocean roars
I'll love you in a way that I'll never
Begin to outgrow
I'll now and forever be yours

From this blessed day
(From this blessed day)
For this whole life through
(All this whole life through)
Starting when we say "I do"
Forever and ever and ever

Now and forever
Just one humble stone
But oh, what a stone can do
It means that I have one love forever
And one love alone
A now and forever with you

From this blessed day
(From this blessed day)
All this whole life through
(For this whole life through)
Starting when we say "I do"
Forever and ever and ever

Now and forever
(Now and forever)
As sure as the snow
As long as the ocean's blue
I'll love you in a way that I'll never
Begin to outgrow
A now and forever and ever
And ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever with you

Now and forever
(Now and forever)
