Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes: The Musical

Walk me through the basics

Give me everything you've got

Is it angular? Rectangular?

We only got one shot

It's a metal plated box

Sixty centimeters long

Kid, the devil's in the details

So don't get the details wrong

There's a timer in the center

And three buttons on the right

Labeled "Echo, Bravo, Tango"

With a tiny amber light

If the Bravo's in the middle

And the Tango's to the port

Hold down Echo seven seconds

And then give me a report

Something is wrong

And the bomb's still ticking

Seems to me

Like the plot has thickened

Mission control,

I could use a code!

Well just keep talking

And no one will explode!

There are thirty-something digits

On the back-up power node

Add them all to PI and multiply by four

To find your code

If the power node is yellow,

Put the code in in reverse

Once we've finally fried the override,

I'll try to keep it terse

Reach inside the side compartment,

Pull the lever,

Vent the vapor

Then fill out the crossword puzzle

On page five of "Sunday's Paper"

Once you finish,

You'll initiate a reset protocol

In the form of a Sudoku puzzle

That you'll need to solve

Copy that,

But the puzzle's blocked

By a Captcha code

And it's combo locked!

Sounds like we're playing

On expert mode!

So just keep talking

And no one will explode!

There's an image in the corner

Cross your eyes and hold it near

If you back away and focus,

Something 3D should appear

It's an alligator!

Try again

A dolphin?

Come on kid, focus

Santa with a trombone?
