[Spoken Intro] All right, everybody, remain composed. There is a murderer aboard. Fortunately, I have prepared a list of suspects. Unfortunately, it contains all of you. [Verse 1] Red stood beside me when the power went dead, Which is rather suspicious, or so I have read. Blue missed a wire by a fraction or two, A criminal blunder, now what did they do? Green took too long getting drinks from the hall, Yellow was silent, the worst crime of all. Purple looked nervous when somebody fell, I saw the whole thing, but I’m not one to tell. [Pre-Chorus] Gather around, let the questioning start, I’ve got several charts and a trustworthy heart. Ignore that red stain on the cuff of my sleeve, It’s tomato sauce, friends, you have got to believe! [Chorus] It could be Red! It could be Blue! It might be Green, or the captain too! It could be Pink! It could be Brown! I recommend that we throw them all down! I’m just a crewmate, honest and true, Doing my best to investigate you. There’s one guilty party we’ve yet to accuse Now hurry and vote before I’m forced to lose! [Verse 2] Orange was spotted departing a vent At least that’s the rumor that somebody sent. White found a body and called us to meet, A little convenient, don’t you agree? Cyan completed their duties too fast, Clearly rehearsed and suspiciously practiced. Black asked me calmly where I’d been today That kind of question gives killers away. [Pre-Chorus] Trust my conclusions; they’re airtight enough. Facts only matter when evidence gets tough. Why was I absent when engines went wild? I had to go fill a report that I filed. [Chorus] It could be Red! It could be Blue! It might be Green, or the captain too! It could be Pink! It could be Brown! I recommend that we throw them all down! I’m just a crewmate, noble and brave, Trying my hardest to keep you all safe. There’s one guilty party corrupting the crew And based on my research, I’m certain it’s you! [Post-Chorus] Not me! Couldn’t be! Look how convincingly worried I seem! Not me! No chance! Please disregard my suspicious little dance! [Verse 3] We started with twelve, now we’re down to just four, A terrible trend that we cannot ignore. Three of you listened while I made my case, Then one disappeared at a startling pace. Now there are two of us standing right here, You look rather pale, is that guilt or just fear? No need to panic or call for a vote, Come help me inspect this remarkably deep moat. [Bridge] You think I’m the culprit? That theory is wild! I’ve been cooperative, pleasant, and mild. I blamed every person from ceiling to floor; Would someone who’s guilty investigate more? I’ve made fifty claims and withdrawn forty-nine, That’s rigorous science and excellent design. So hand me your trust and step into this room I promise there’s absolutely no chance of your doom. [Instrumental Break] [Spoken] Why are you backing away? That is extremely suspicious behavior. [Breakdown] Sound the alarm! Call the debate! Everyone panic before it’s too late! Point at your neighbor! Make a big fuss! Surely the killer is one of Well… among us. [Final Chorus] It could be Red! It could be Blue! It could be anyone, mostly you! It could be Pink! It could be Brown! Too bad there’s nobody else left around. I was a crewmate, loyal and sweet, Never once plotting your final defeat. The mystery’s solved, and the answer is clear The dangerous culprit was standing right here! [Outro] Case closed. Great work, everyone. Now, who knows how to steer this thing?
