## **Lyrics**

**Xavier**: *[Facepalms]* Hoh, man, that's never a good sign.

Alexander​​​​​​: *[coming out of his office, singing]*
*To educate is my desire*
*And to that duty, I am bound*
*[He's walking on the gasoline, not moving]*
*Your minds are there to be inspired*
*[Camera reveals Olive, unconscious from the gasoline filled floor. Alexander is attempting to walk, but can't due to the floor being slippery, although he doesn't notice this. An unconscious Pie slides into the lockers, and a splat sound can be heard.]*
*To open your eyes to the world around*
**Yadina**: *[to Xavier]* We can't let him see the chaos his advice caused.
Alexander: *The longest journey starts with just one simple step*
*[Xavier and Yadina move Alexander down the hall where Night Cap, Gaty, and Donkey Hodie have fallen from the gasoline, unconscious. As a result, Xavier and Yadina spin Alexander to prevent him from noticing them. Meanwhile, Ryder and Brooklyn are hanging out normally with each other, unscathed]*
*And each mile goes much quicker*
*If you walk it with pep*
*[Xavier kicks an unconscious Donkey Hodie away, leaving her sliding away on the floor. Alexander starts singing to Ryder and Brooklyn]*
*Take my advice and you'll be glad that you do*
*[Xavier and Yadina sigh with relief, but then see Piranhaconda and Sharktopus, having a conversation and looking upset. She sees them]*
*Your mind is like a parachute, it won't open when it's not open*
**Piranhaconda**: *[Points at Xavier, Yadina, and Alexander Hamilton]* There they are!
*[They both start angrily walking toward Xavier and Yadina, so Xavier screams extremely loudly. Whalewolf comes from behind Piranhaconda and Sharktopus. He headbutts Sharktopus offscreen and headbutts a terrified Piranhaconda against the locker, knocking her out]*
Alexander​​​​​​: *So don't close yourself off to the words that I've spoken*
*Take my advice and you'll be glad that you do*
*[Xavier and Yadina notice that Whalewolf is about to charge towards them, so they slide Hamilton away and move away. Whalewolf chases and pounces on Ryder, knocking him out. Brooklyn attempts to run away, but the goat slams him against the locker, knocking him out. He then proceeds to repeatably stomp on Brooklyn]*
*Before you judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes*
*Well, you might as well try it*
**Brad**: *[Coming out of a room]* You've got nothing to *[Gets bitten in the back by Whalewolf]* LOOOOOOOO--!
*[Elinor, Zooli, and Abby Hatcher are in the hallway on stretchers]*
**Mothra**: Sorry, Elinor, I'm a nurse, not an artist, you're all going to the hospital now. I'll call the ambulance.
*[She goes back into her office]*
*[Xavier and Yadina notice the patients and try to prevent Alexander Hamilton from knowing what's going on]*
Alexander: *So come real close*
*Open your ears, hearts, and eyes*
*[Xavier and Yadina turn the corner, get rid of the stretchers, and press Zooli and Elinor against the walls. Darwin gets rid of Abby's stretcher with her still on it]*
*I'm gonna give you all the gift of advice*
*[Abby's stretcher rolls down the stairs]*
*Be the change you want in your world*
*[The stretcher hits the ambulance, making Abby fly through it, and land on the ground. The ambulance takes off, leaving her on the ground]*
*Take my advice and you'll be glad that you do*
*And you know what doesn't kill you only gonna make you stronger*
*[Xavier and Yadina hold up Elinor and Zooli and rock them, making it look like they're dancing as Alexander walks past them]*
*If it turns out wrong, then it won't matter much longer*
*[Xavier and Yadina drop Elinor and Zooli to the floor]*
*Tomorrow you'll be better than-*
*[Mothra peeks out of her office]*
**Mothra**: Hey!
*[Whalewolf headbutts her back in. Alexander Hamilton turns around]*
*Alexander- you are today* - Huh?
**Xavier and Yadina**: *[Dance to disguise Mothra's "Hey!"]* *Hey, hey, hey!*
Alexander: *Hey, hey, hey! Let me hear ya!*
**Xavier and Yadina**: *Hey, hey, hey!*
Alexander​​​​​​: *Whoooooo! Hey, hey, hey!*
*[He approaches the next hallway where the floor is on fire so Xavier and Yadina dance to distract him]*
*I've got plenty more advice, all you need to do is ask*
*[Xavier sneaks to the classroom door and opens it, letting the water pour out and douse the fire, taking him with. Alexander turns the corner]*
*So next time you feel lost, just pop into...*
*My class!*
*And that is my advice to you*
*[Yadina helps Xavier up]*
*My advice to you!*
*[Xavier spits out water]*
