Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog - Act 3 Part 1

Looks like we're finding
out what a true hero is.
The Mayor himself will be on hand to
dedicate the new homeless shelter
and unveil the statue
of Captain Hammer.
It's a good day to be homeless.
It certainly is.

“So They Say”
Movers:
So they say Captain Hammer’s become a crusader
Politically he’s cleaning up the streets (about time)

Fans:
So they say that it’s real love
So romantic!
He signed this

Penny:
So they say we’ll have blankets and beds
We can open by Monday thanks to you
(Capt. Hammer: Thanks to me!)

TV news folks:
It’s the perfect story, so they say
A hero leading the way
Hammer’s call to glory
Let’s all be our best
Next up: who’s gay?

Fans:
So they say he saved her life
They say she works with the homeless, and doesn’t eat meat
We have a problem with her
This is his hair

Capt. Hammer:
This is so nice
I just might sleep with the same girl twice
They say it’s better the second time
They say you get to do the weird stuff

Fans:
We do the weird stuff!

Penny:
This is perfect for me, so they say
I guess he’s pretty ok
After years of stormy sailing
Have I finally found a bay?

Dr. Horrible, Penny:
There’s no happy ending, so they say/ There’s no happy ending, so they say
Not for me, anyway
Should I stop pretending/ Should I stop pretending
And take the chance to build a brand new day/ Or is this a brand new day

Fans:
This is his dry cleaning bill
Four sweater vests!

And in just a few minutes,
we'll unveil the statue
of the man himself.

Thank you.
Thank you!

Justice has a name.
And the name that it has,
besides justice,
is Captain Hammer.
Ladies and gentlemen,
your hero.

Thank you.
Thank you, Mayor,
for those kind words.
I hate the homeless.
This problem that
plagues our city.
Everyone should
have the basic...
You know what?
I don't need tiny cue cards.
When I fell deeply in love
with my serious long-term girlfriend
Penny. Wave your hand, Penny.
There she is. Cute, huh?
Sort of a quiet nerdy thing.
Not my usual but nice.
Anyway...
She turned me on to this whole
homeless thing which is terrible.
And I realised
I'm not the only hero
in the room tonight.
I'm not the only
one who's fighting.

It may not feel too classy
Begging just to eat
But you know who does that? Lassie.
And she always gets a treat
So you wonder what your part is,
Cuz you’re homeless and depressed
But home is where the heart is,
So your real home’s in your chest

Everyone’s a hero in their own way
Everyone’s got villains they must face
They’re not as cool as mine
But folks, you know, it’s fine
To know your place
Everyone’s a hero in their own way
In their own not-that-heroic way

So I thank my girlfriend, Penny
Yeah, we totally had sex
She showed me there’s so many
Different muscles I can flex
There’s the deltoids of compassion
There’s the abs of being kind
It’s not enough to bash in heads
You’ve got to bash in minds

Everyone’s a hero in their own way
Everyone’s got somethin’ they can do
Get up, go out and fly,
Especially that guy he smells like poo

Everyone’s a hero in their own way
You and you and mostly me and you

I’m poverty’s new sheriff
And I’m bashing in the slums
A hero doesn’t care if you’re a bunch of
Scary alcoholic bums

Everybody!
Everyone’s a hero in their own way
Everyone can blaze a hero’s trail
