[Bill Cipher, spoken]
Greetings, and good evening to you,
Worthy friends
Welcome to the fabled town
of Gravity Falls!
Town of crashed alien spacecraft,
Tourist traps, and more broken laws of physics
Than any other fictional town
In the world!
[Bill, sung]
Oh, I came from a land
From a faraway place
To where the manotaurs roam
Where it's mountainous,
With aging fountains
It's barbaric, but it's my new home
When the ocean breeze from the West
Meets the frost from the East
When the clock hands are aligned,
And your curiosity calls
Stop on by, mind
Relax, sit down, unwind
Here in Gravity Falls!
[Stan, spoken]
Of course, you know what Gravity Falls is famous for? This mysterious journal. Don't be fooled by its worn out appearance. Like so many things, it isn't what it looks like. Sorry. Got a little meta there. This journal put Gravity Falls on the map! You've never been? Well, we can fix that!
[Stan, sung]
Follow me to a place
Where incredible feats
Are reported every hour or so
Where enchantment runs rampant
It's wild in the streets
Buy your tickets,
Here we go!
[Bill]
See Mayor Cutebike prance
In those stupid hot pants!
And imagine
To your heart's delight!
[Bill and chorus]
Come on in,
Let the weirdness begin!
Welcome to Gravity Falls!
[Chorus]
Gravity Falls!
Our "idyllic" days!
More often than not
Are strange and fraught
In less than good ways!
Gravity Falls
Under full moons
A fool who lets down their guard
Will fall and fall hard
To their souls' dooms!
In this magical place,
In this mystical land,
There's Bill Cipher behind every door
He'll do all your bidding,
Your wishes his command
[Bill]
It demands a heavy price,
But hey! There you are!
[Chorus]
Unbelievable, yes
An unethical mess!
Nonetheless, no one's very contrived
To come here anew,
Come here where any mountain can move!
A land fraught with tricky logistics,
With prophecies and mystics!
[Ford]
And I've got statistics to prove!
[Chorus]
Gravity Falls!
Gravity Falls!
[Soos]
Mystery Shack!
Come for the clam bake,
Stay for the tours
Even the fake exhibits look great!
And everyone here has a brochure?
[Bill]
And of course, you must watch
your back
Here in Gravity Falls
For danger is around every corner,
And odd bad guys too!
[Chorus]
Gravity Falls!
[Bill, as spotlight falls on Dipper]
It's a town where a pitiful nobody
Can turn out to be
A noble somebody!
[Dipper]
Hey!
[Bill, as spotlight falls on Mabel]
And where the shooting star
Would crash to earth for true love
But her dream still seems
As far away as ever.
[Dipper]
That didn't rhyme!
[Mabel]
That's okay!
[All]
We're gonna sing it anyway!
[Bill, with spotlight on Grenda and Candy]
The heroine's pals
Are as strange as orcs
Adorkable, but...dorks!
[Mabel]
Are you gonna let that slide?!
[Grenda, sadly]
He's not wrong...
[Bill, continuing nonchalant]
Oh, and did I mention? [evil laugh]
I TAKE OVER?!
[Chorus]
Gravity Falls!
Our "idyllic" days!
More often than not
Are strange and fraught
In less than good ways!
Gravity Falls
Under full moons
A fool who lets down their guard
Will fall and fall hard
To their souls' dooms!
Gravity Falls!
Gravity Falls!
Gravity Falls! [fade out]
