Lyrics
We consider every day a plus
To spend it with a platypus
We're always so ecstatic
'Cause he's semi-aquatic
Our Ornithorhynchus anatinus
Brings smiles to the both of us
Life's never fuddy-duddy
With our web-footed buddy
When we're brushing our teeth, (ooh) it's better
Tying our shoes, (oh, yeah) it's better
Combing our hair, it's better
Like we're a cheese sandwich and he's the cheddar
Blinking our eyes, (oh, yeah) it's better
Breathing in and out, (so much better) it's better
Sitting in a chair, it's better
And taking a bath is a little bit wetter
Every day is such a dream
When you start it with a monotreme
He's duckbilled and he's beaver-tailed and hairy
(You know that he's hairy)
Everything's better with Perry
(Everything's better with Perry)
Everything's better with Perry
(Everything's better with Perry)
Everything is better with Perry
(Everything is better)
(Everything's better with Perry)
(Everything is better with Perry)
Everything's better and we
Just want to tell you Perry
Everything's better with you
(Better with you)

Background Information
- Martin Olson produced the demo for this song and released it to SoundCloud on September 13, 2010.[1]
- Dan Povenmire and Martin Olson recorded the original demo in lo-fi in Povenmire's office at Disney using GarageBand and no mics.
- Ornithorhynchus anatinus is the scientific name for a platypus.
- The theme of the song is the same as "Come Home Perry".
- The song seems to be a style homage of various songs from the 1970s and 1980s, the main influence being I Want You Back & ABC by The Jackson 5.
- The naming of the song could be a reference to TV Tropes, especially the trope called "Everything's Better With Platypi".
- The Spanish version of this song was going to be sung by the Spanish singer David Bisbal, but in the end, Miguel Antelo was the singer.
- Phineas and Ferb break the fourth wall by staring at the camera.
- Reminiscent of a classic series of soda commercials from the 1960s-70s.
- This song is a Finalist and Winner in the Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown Hosted by Kelly Osbourne.
- The song is from Phineas and Ferb's POV, but they don't actually sing it. ("Hemoglobin Highway", "My Chariot", "X-Ray Eyes", "Let's Take A Rocket Ship To Space", "Chains on Me")
- This is the first song that Robbie Wyckoff does not sing in his "hard rock" voice.
Errors
- During one scene of the trailer and in a promotional image, Phineas's hair turns green. This error is not present in the movie itself. The same error is also seen during the Season 2 song "You're My Better Best Friend", ("The Lemonade Stand")
- When "Breathing in and out" is said, the bottom of Phineas's shoes are blue instead of white.
- When "It's better" is said with a purple background, Ferb's mouth doesn't move.
Continuity
- Phineas and Ferb imitate Perry's chatter again. They first copied him in "Interview With a Platypus".
- Ferb sings the song in his regular voice for the third time in the live version. The other times were in "Ballad of Badbeard" and "The Twelve Days of Christmas".
Trivia
- This is the third time Perry is referred to as a monotreme, and the second time onscreen. He was called a monotreme in"Swiss Family Phineas" and "Misperceived Monotreme"
- This is the seventh song with the word "Perry" in the title. The other songs are "Perry the Platypus", "Perry the Teenage Girl", "Come Home Perry", "We Wish You a Perry Christmas", "Perry Saves Christmas", and "Perry the Platybus".
