We Got Work To Do

[JEMILLA, spoken]

We got work to do

(Everyone groans.)

There's just not time for singing and dancing right now

We got work to d-

[ZAZZALIL, sung]

I don't really wanna do the work today

I don't really wanna do the work today

(Whiny voice) I don't really really wanna do the work today

I don't wanna do the work today

[JEMILLA, spoken]

What? What's this?

[ZAZZALIL, spoken]

Uh-oh!

[EVERYBODY EXCEPT JEMILLA]

I don't really wanna do the work today

I don't really wanna do the work today

I don't really wanna do the work today

I don't wanna do the work today

[JEMILLA, spoken]

How do you guys all know this dance?

[ZAZZALIL]

Just figured out how to move, how to sing, how to groove

And now you're tellin' me I gotta work today

[JEMILLA, spoken]

Keeri, did you choreograph this and teach everyone?

Where was I?

[ZAZZALIL]

You know that feeling

When you find the thing that blows your mind

And next thing you know

They wanna take it away

[JEMILLA, spoken]

Okay, I am not trying to take anything away, I'm just.. Telling you not to do something

[TRIBE (SCHWOOPSIE, EMBERLY)]

Yeah, but you heard what Jemilla said!

(I know, I know, I know...)

You gotta work to get ahead!

(Our people have to grow)

[TRIBE (JEMILLA, spoken)]

We gotta harness our pride

(Thank you)

And keep it up to survive

(Thank you)

[JEMILLA]

Alright now listen girls, let me reiterate

I know it's hard to just work with no play

I hope we all understand the importance of what we do

And that this world is full of obstacles we gotta work through

We got so much to do already you and me have made discoveries

That have helped our kind in so many ways

I hope you're feeling power

Working through the shroud of mystery

And our history's growing every day

[EMBERLY]

(Spoken) Aw, come on Jemilla, you know we're just messing with you!

I got the best job, 'cause I'm in charge of food

I gotta eat everything to find out what tastes good

(Spoken) Don't eat that! No one eat that!

[SMELLY-BALLS]

When I'm not kicking ass

I sit and stare at the grass

And let the time pass

And wonder how it grows

[TRIBE]

And?

[SMELLY-BALLS]

I still don't know

[TRIBE]

Oh

[SMELLY-BALLS, yelling]

I still don't know

[SCHWOOPSIE, CHORN]

We've been watching our shadows every day

We notice when the sky's cloudy, they go away

We're trying to explain

[DUCKER]

What could they be?

These dark spirits that follow us?

No matter how fast we run

They are trying to swallow us!

[DIALOGUE]

[JEMILLA]

So many wondrous things here for our kind

A world of tools and knowledge left to find

And I hope to bring you there

Because you know how much I care

So we'll join each other hand in hand

And try to help ourselves to understand

This world is what we make of it, together

This is the dawn

The dawn of our time

We are mankind

With the gift of a greater mind

[TRIBE]

This is the dawn

The dawn of our time

We are womankind

With the gift of a stronger mind

Ooooh

Ooooh

Ooooh
