lyrics

NORTON
Since I was a child, I longed to fix the problems of my fellow man
Why do we want, why do we cry if we could—
Why not get what we can?

Why do we struggle to reach for a high-up book,
When a ladder could give us a boost?

Why do we hunger when craving a tasty egg
When there are chickens next door on the roost?

If your friend has extra waste there’s no reason
For your flowers to be failing

No need to scrap to feed your dogs
When your neighbor’s horse is ailing

That’s Advernado!
Advernado!
We’re gonna take you where you wanna go
Advernado!

(Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Stop.)

So when I was 10
I made my first app
To charge my neighbors and bring them joy
Since then it has made me billions
Thanks to the dream of that young boy

NORTON’S ASSISTANT
Advernado!

NORTON
If there’s a shop that’s filled with cool new hats,
Then why is your bald head bare?
If there’s a line for the hippest brunch down the block -
Then wouldn’t you want to be there?

We can solve any problem that you think up
And find any purchase that you require
The app is a full solution
But I’m always ready to take things higher

Advernado!
Advernado!
Get in my rocket, baby, let’s go!
I have a literal rocket—it’s called the Advernado!
And it’s very expensive

Now I have a brand new dream
And you will be the ones tasked to confront it.
I want you to build a program to find people’s thoughts
And know what they need—before they want it.

A bold new vision of tech
With computers and robots in one bind
When people think of their earthly needs,
I want just one thing to spring to mind…

NORTON’S ASSISTANT
Advernado!

NORTON
A world where instead of a store there’s a robot
Who already knows what you crave!
The only company you’ll ever give your cash to
From cradle to grave…

(Wait for it, it’s coming…it’s the drop, sometimes it just takes a sec—)

—nado!
Advernado!

NORTON’S ASSISTANT
Advernado!

NORTON
Under the ground is where we all go
But until then, give your money to
Advernado!
Advernado!

NORTON’S ASSISTANT
Advernado!

NORTON
Give me the money and I’ll go
Up in my rocket ship, the Advernado!
