After being in a coma and terrifying his loved ones, Gordon wakes up in this song. Mr. Bungee reminds him never to give in and to wake up, as do visions of his family members, causing him to fully shake out of the coma.
[MR. BUNGEE, spoken]
Hey there, little tadpoles! Kerplop! Aren't we having a fungee-bungee good time? Come on! Let's hip hop on over to my own little lilypad on this dark and miserable morning. At least it's dark and miserable here, and maybe it's dark where you are too!
(Mr. Bungee sees Gordon lying in his coma.)
Uh-oh!
Looks like somebody hasn't been listening to Mr. Bungee!
(sung)
When you wanna quit
'Cause nothing works–
Don't give in
Quitting is the specialty of jerks–
Don't give in
Simply keep your focus
On what lies ahead
Don't play games
Don't play dead
Begin
Those who are marking time:
Wake up
Life is a cause that you have to take up
Don't give in
(Gordon wakes up and joins Mr. Bungee, who no longer seems toxic.)
When you think you're dying
Well you ain't
[GORDON]
Don't give in
[MR. BUNGEE]
All you need's another coat of paint
Don't give in
[MR. BUNGEE]
Fix-a-this and fix-a-that
And you'll surmise–
No more alibis–
Why you did not win
What once seemed boorish and hokey
Now seems incredibly okey-dokey
Don't give in
When you're feeling low
[GORDON, spoken]
When I'm feeling low?
[MR. BUNGEE]
Maybe eat... spaghetti?
[GORDON, spoken]
Spaghetti!
[MR. BUNGEE]
Just as long as you continue on
[GORDON, spoken]
I like spaghetti!
[MR. BUNGEE]
Every day you'll grow
You'll become more ready
To confront the dark before the dawn
(Roger, Mother, and Rhoda wheel the bed in, focusing on Gordon in bed. Actually, he's out of bed standing with Mr. Bungee.)
When you want to quit
'Cause nothing works
[ROGER, MOTHER, & RHODA]
Don't give in
[MR. BUNGEE]
Quitting is the specialty of jerks
[ROGER, MOTHER, & RHODA]
Don't give in!
[MR. BUNGEE]
Simply keep your focus on what lies ahead
[ROGER]
Don't play games!
[RHODA]
Don't play dead!
[MIMI]
Gordon, begin!
[MR. BUNGEE]
Those who are marking time: wake up!
[MIMI]
Wake up!
[RHODA]
Wake up!
[ROGER]
Wake up!
[MR. BUNGEE]
Life is a cause that you have to take up
[EVERYONE]
Don't give in
[GORDON, spoken]
(GORDON begins to stir and his speech is slurred.)
When you wanna quit 'cause nothing works...
Quitting is the specialty of...
[MIMI, spoken]
Gordy!
[MR. BUNGEE]
Strange things happen more than you would guess
Don't give in
When life seems an unforgiving mess
Don't give in
Things go wrong, you lose your way, but don't despair
Just play fair
And prepare to win
What once seemed wrong, is soon righted
Miserable people become delighted
Don't give in
