Chop Away at my Heart

## Video

**Chop Away at my Heart** is a song first performed in the *Milo Murphy's Law* episode "Secrets and Pies." It is sung by a boy band known as The Lumberzacks, which Zack Underwood used to be part of as the lead singer. In "Battle of the Bands," The Lumbermaxes sing a slightly altered version of the original song and call it **Saw Away at my Heart**.

The song returns in "The Phineas and Ferb Effect" and is performed by Zack and Baljeet (who is a fan of the Lumberzacks), with Buford and Sara as their backup dancers.

## Lyrics

I know you're pining,

But every cloud has got a silver lining!

The leaves are parting, now the sun is shining,

And you're in my arms so the planets are aligning!

My heart is strong, like a tree!

And you belong, baby you belong to me.

Without you, I'm tied to the ground

And if I fall, do I even make a sound?

CHORUS

Chop chop chop! Chop away at my heart!

I can feel it falling (timber!) and I will never part

I know you, you've been there from the start

So baby chop chop chop! Chop away at my heart!

Na na na na, na na na na na na na (x4)

SECOND VERSE

And now you're grinning

When you look me in the eye, my head's spinning

If love is just a game, I think we’re winning

And we’re here right now so this feels like a beginning

I know you’re ready, you know I’m right

When I tell you my bark is always worse than my bite

When you look at me, do you see me?

Or do you only see a forest for the tree?

*CHORUS (x2)*

### Saw Away at My Heart

*Saw Away at My Heart* is exactly the same song, except the word "Chop" is changed to "Saw".

Despite being just like *Chop Away at My Heart*, it seemed to have the same success, if not more.

### "Perchance to Sleepwalk" Version

Vinnie Dakota: I can feel it falling....I can feel it falling...

Balthazar Cavendish: *Oh, Timber.*

Dakota: and we will never part...

## Trivia

* The song was first heard in "The Note," as the song that Larry was listening to on Wilson's headphones.
* In the beginning of the music video, down in the left corner "Swampenmire records" is wrote. "Swampenmire" is a portmanteau referencing *Milo Murphy's Law* creators Jeff "Swampy" Marsh and Dan Povenmire.
* The song was featured in *Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe*during a scene where Candace told the alien spaceship to stop multiple times, and the ship misinterpreted "stop, stop, stop" as "chop, chop, chop." The extended version of the song is featured on the film's soundtrack.
	+ This makes it the first song from the show to have an album release.
