[TUFF]

Stay calm young Tuff. Stay-

CALM, CALM, NO I CAN’T STAY CALM
EXCITEMENT, STARTS THE PANTING ALARM

CAN’T HELP THE WAY I REACT
ON THE DAY OF MY BIRTH IT BEGAN, THAT’S A FACT

WHEN I STARTED CAVE KINDER SCHOOL
THE PANTING GOT WORSE AND THEY NOTICED MY DROOL
I TRIED TO HIDE BUT I COULDN’T WIN
THE REALITY IS I DON’T SWEAT THROUGH MY SKIN

[TEACHER]

Now class repeat after me. The Others bad.

[CLASS]

The Others bad.

[TEACHER]

Tuff, please take your hands away from your face.

[BULLY]

Look! He’s a panter. He made the floor wet!

[TUFF]

TEASED AND PRODDED ALL DAY LONG
FOR SOMETHING THEY TOLD ME WAS VERY WRONG
UNTIL THIS KID STOOD UP TO THEM, AND SAID TO ME

[STONEY]

HEY HEY
HEY I THINK YOUR DROOL
IS REALLY KINDA COOL
WHAT COULD BE THE THREAT
YOU’RE HARMLESS AS A PET

[TUFF]

HAH HAH

[STONEY]

SO HE’LL HUFF AND PUFF
THAT BUGS YOU? WELL THAT’S TOUGH
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
DON’T TEST MY FRIEND NAMED…?

[TUFF]

Tuff.

[STONEY]

I’m Stoney.

[TUFF]

CLOSE, SO CLOSE
FROM THAT DAY ON
ALMOST A BROTHER
I’D SUDDENLY WON
SKIPPING ROCKS PRETENDING TO DUEL
EVERY DAY RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL
AND WHEN THE TEACHER CALLED OUT HIS NAME
I GRUNTED THE ANSWER SO HE’D FEEL NO SHAME

[TEACHER]

Stoney, do you know what comes next?

[TUFF]

Mud…

[STONEY]

Mud!

[TUFF]

Great mud depression...

[STONEY]

The great mud depression!

[TEACHER]

Stoney, may I have a word?

[CLASS]

Recess!!

[TUFF]

JUST AS RECESS HAD BEGUN
THEY STARTED ONCE AGAIN TO MAKE FUN
AND TRICKED ME INTO A PANIC ATTACK
WHICH STARTED THE DROOL THERE WAS NO LOOKING BACK
BUT ONCE AGAIN HE WAS MAGICALLY THERE
PROTECTING ME WITH HIS USUAL FLARE
HE STOOD UP AND PROCLAIMED TO ALL

[TUFF & STONEY]

GRUNT GRUNT GRUNT, HEY HEY

[STONEY]

DON’T YOU THINK HIS DROOL
IS REALLY KINDA COOL
WHAT COULD BE THE THREAT?
HE’S HARMLESS AS A PET

[TUFF]

HAH HAH

[STONEY]

SO HE’LL HUFF AND PUFF
THAT BUGS YOU? WELL THAT’S TOUGH
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
LAY OFF MY FRIEND NAMED TUFF

[TUFF]

AND THEN THE BULLY STARTED TO PUNCH
OUTSIDE AT RECESS RIGHT AFTER LUNCH
BUT STONEY NEVER WANTED TO FIGHT
HE JUST WANTED TO DO WHAT WAS RIGHT
I PANTED HARD NO CONTROLLING THE DROOL
WHICH SPLASHED ALL OVER THE YARD IN A POOL
THE BULLY SLIPPED AND FELT LIKE A FOOL
AND SUDDENLY
I WAS COOL

[ENSEMBLE/TUFF]

DON’T YOU THINK HIS DROOL
IS REALLY KINDA COOL
WHAT COULD BE THE THREAT
HE’S HARMLESS AS YOUR PET, HAH HAH

SO HE’LL HUFF AND PUFF
THAT BUGS YOU? WELL THAT’S TOUGH
IT’S SUCH A CRAZY TOOL
IT’S HOW HE KEEPS HIS COOL

DON’T YOU THINK HIS DROOL
IS REALLY KINDA COOL
WHAT COULD BE THE THREAT
HE’S HARMLESS AS YOUR PET, HAH HAH

SO HE’LL HUFF AND PUFF
THAT BUGS YOU? WELL THAT’S TOUGH
IT’S SUCH A CRAZY TOOL

IT’S HOW HE KEEPS HIS COOL/IT’S HOW I KEEP MY COOL
IT’S HOW HE KEEPS HIS COOL/IT’S HOW I KEEP MY COOL
IT’S HOW HE KEEPS HIS COOL/IT’S HOW I KEEP MY COOL

[TUFF]

IT’S HOW I KEEP MY COOL
