As the final song of the series, “I, I” is written as a collage of multiple of the series' other musical songs such as “Keep on Cleaning,” “Afterlife in the Limelight,” “A Party,” “Just Like Me,” “Taco’s Tirade,” “The Future is So Yesterday,” “Rubber Ball,” and “Springtastic.”
[Verse 1 - Guava & Starfruit & Both]
Starfruit came to me with dreams and a guitar
He said, "Hey stick with me kid and I'll take you far!"
Now he claims that he’s the reason I became a star
And how dare I try to break out of his repertoire
[Chorus]
I-I
I wanna shout it out loud
I-I
I wanna stand out from that crowd
I-I
I want to make myself proud
‘cause you may have made me
But you don’t make me who I am!
(Oh-oh-ooh)
You don’t make me who I am
(Oh-oh-ooh)
You don’t make me who I am
Oh man, you can’t and I-I-I want to stand
[Segue]
And I want you all to stand with me and if you can’t stand how the man treated you, why don’t you sing about it?
[Verse 2 - Soap & The Floor]
We cleaned it all and we took him down
Hey I'm the floor so don't scrub me- ow!
We were all stuck between death and life
But we made a new path, all thanks to Suitcase and Knife!
(Suitcase and Knife!)
[Verse 3 - Marshmellow & Bow]
Contestants. Now it’s time to have fun!
Contestants. Now it’s time to have fun!
If you were on the show, or if you just won!
If you were on the show, or if you just won!
Now that we don’t longer compete, we could be comple-e-ete!
[Verse 4 - Starfruit & Guava & Both]
And all I wanna do
Is go to a party
A party with yo-ou
And the party never ends and I don’t know what I do without you
You. Here. Right beside me, 'cause...
[Verse 5 - Lightbulb & Paintbrush & Both]
All the people that I now see
Aren't people who are just like me
But why should they ever try to be
In this place we call re-a-lity!
[Verse 6 - Taco]
Let us not forget those who we’ve lost
We must protect each other at all cost to save what’s left
It's a new sta-a-a-art!
[Verse 7 - Fan & Test Tube & Guava]
The future was so yesterday
But now with Cobs out of our WAY
So many of us everywhere
Who knows who else we find out there
It’s true that it might sound ambitious
But we can do it ‘cause we CAA-AA-ARE!
[Verse 8 - Nickel & Taco & Apple]
It's a ball!
Heh, does that one still count?
We can’t believe..
(She forgot!)
That one..
How can you forget it!?
Do you hate rubber balls!?
(I think they’re spring-spring-springtastic!)
(And I-I-I'm gonna stand!)
[Outro]
Thank you so much Inanimate Insanity! You’ve been a great audience, we love you!
I-I-I-IIIIIIIIII!
