### Section 1 (0:00-1:10):

**Sergio:**

Sorry I'm late guys, got a lot on my plate guys.

It's hard to juggle work and life.

You see, tonight is date night, you guys can relate, right?

Gotta do this thing with the wife.

I know I seem like I am a real tough guy, man.

But I'm actually... I'm pretty shy, man.

I do crime to provide for my family and no one else.

These bombs ain't gonna sell themselves!

Somebody's gotta do it!

**Sergio, spoken:**

You get it right?

**Sergio, sang:**

So it might as well be me.

They say do what you're good at and I'm good at this.

But I wouldn't do it for free!

This is just a job and I do it to provide for my family.

Because somebody's gotta do it!

**Sergio, sang:**

So it might as well be me.

**Sergio, spoken:**

Hey! My bad, guys, I'm so sorry, today is my wedding anniversary. I had to stop by my wife's favorite bakery before it closed--

**The Deadliest Man Alive:**

SERGIO! Our Business

### Section 2 (1:10-3:21):

**Sergio, spoken:**

There's bad guys my man and then there's bad guys MY MAN!

**The Deadliest Man Alive:**

Can't you see...

**The Deadliest Man Alive, sang:**

How much I enjoy this

I'd never avoid this.

'Cause buddy I'm a different breed.

This is my calling, and though it's appalling,

I love making people bleed!

**The Deadliest Man Alive, sang:**

They say that everybody's gotta make a living

But I'm just happy killing; It's so fulfilling!

Some people need to die and I'm happy to help

These people ain't gonna kill themselves!

**The Deadliest Man Alive and Sergio:**

Somebody's gotta do it!

**The Deadliest Man Alive and Sergio, sang:**

So it might as well be me.

**The Deadliest Man Alive:**

They say to do what you love

And I love doing this

Hell, I'd even do it for free!

**The Deadliest Man Alive and Sergio, sang:**

This is my job and I do it

**The Deadliest Man Alive:**

Very, very passionately.

**The Deadliest Man Alive and Sergio, sang:**

Somebody's gotta do it!

So it might as well be me.

**Curt Mega, sang:**
Somebody's gotta do it.

Looks like that someone has to be me...

You came here to do this, so do the job.

Stop acting like a little... pussy!

**Tatiana Slozhno:**

Somebody's gotta do it!

**Curt Mega, spoken:**

Wait, what?

**Tatiana Slozhno, sang:**

Time to sneak down secretly

What a surprise, they don't know anything

This is how a spy should be

**Curt Mega:**

Who's that woman?

**The Deadliest Man Alive and Sergio:**

Somebody's gotta,

Somebody's gotta,

somebody's gotta do it!

**Curt Mega:**

What's she doing?

**The Deadliest Man Alive and Sergio:**

Somebody's gotta,

Somebody's gotta,

Somebody's gotta do it!

Somebody's gotta do it!

So it might as well, be, me!
