Yellow Sidewalk is a song from "Wizard of Odd", sung by Isabella as the good witch telling Candace how to get to Bustopolis.
Lyrics
The Good Witch, Isabella: Well, listen to this.
Patchkins : Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo! La-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Isabella: Well, the sky is blue and the breeze is mellow
I'll tell you what to do
Take the walkway that's yellow
It'll get you where you want to go
Just take that yellow sidewalk!
Patchkins: Ooo-hoo! La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Isabella: Just take the yellow one, not the one that's burnt umber
And don't you take that purple one, it's covered with lumber
Candace: What?
Isabella: A log truck overturned last Tuesday
Take The Yellow Sidewalk!
Patchkins: Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo!
Traffic Cop: Nothing to see here. Move along.
Isabella: If you wanna bust your brothers
Put one foot after another
There's a road that leads you out of this square
And there's nothing really stopping us
So let us state the obvious
If you're standing here, baby
Isabella and Patchkins: You're going nowhere!
Isabella: So if you're really in a busting mood
Please don't think I'm being rude
Just grab yourself some take-out food, and hit that yellow sidewalk!
Patchkins: Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo! La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo! Ooo-hoo! La-la-la-la-la-la-la...
Isabella: So remember, if you wanna bust your brothers, stay on the yellow sidewalk!
Demo version
Well, the sky is blue and the breeze is mellow
If I were you
I'd take the walkway that's yellow
It'll get you where you want to go
Just take that yellow sidewalk!
If you wanna bust your brothers
Put one foot after another
There's a road that leads you out of this square
And there's nothing really stopping us
So let us state the obvious
If you're standing here, baby
You're going nowhere!
So if you're really in a busting mood
Please don't think I'm being rude
Just grab yourself some take-out food and hit that yellow sidewalk!
There's nothin' ever stoppin' us
We're goin' to Bustopolis
Everyone will eat our dust
Our journey's pure, our cause is just
So better wear your rubber boots
We're goin' to Bustopolis
Background Information
- The sky in Patchkinland is not blue as stated in the song, but light pink, to possibly match Isabella's dress.
- The "Ooo-hoo!" part sounds a lot like Phineas's voice. Before the song started, Phineas was seen, but was never seen in the song. Vincent Martella may have possibly sang background in this song.
- This song resembles the Wizard of Oz's song "Follow the Yellow Brick Road".
- The Patchkins resemble the Fireside Girls, but there are eight Patchkins, one of them is possibly unknown.
- Errors - In the line "And there's nothing really stopping us, so let us state the obvious" Candace's eye color changes to brown.
- As revealed by Martin Olson on his official Soundcloud page, this song originally had a longer ending which was cut for time:
- There's nothin' ever stoppin' us
- We're goin' to Bustopolis
- Everyone will eat our dust
- Our journey's pure, our cause is just
- (Repeat)
- So better wear your rubber boots
- We're goin' to Bustopolis
- (Repeat first four lines of this portion until fadeout)
- The first four lines from the longer ending are in the alternate version of the song I Wish I Was Cool.

Continuity
- The "La-la-la-la-la-la-la..." repeats 3 more times in the episode, just before meeting Phineas and Ferb's new path.
- This is the 7th time we hear only Isabella's singing voice by herself at one point in a song. The others are In the Mall from "The Magnificent Few", The Ballad of Badbeard from the episode of the same name, Where Did We Go Wrong? and Danville for Niceness from "Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation!", City of Love and Summer Belongs to You both "Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You!".
- This is the second song that Isabella is the main singer (City of Love).
