"I Think You're Swell" is a song performed by Robbie in the episode The Blonde Squad. Robbie sang the song to Cat after Cat is rejected by Evan Smith for not being a real blonde. It is featured on the soundtrack Victorious 2.0: More Music From the Hit TV Show.

Fans have interpreted the song to suggest that Robbie loves Cat, as part of the lyrics say "When I say I'm in love, it's more than any love has meant". This theory is seemingly confirmed by the episode One Thousand Berry Balls, where Robbie asks Cat to be his prom date.

In the Show[]

In The Blonde Squad, Cat is eating dinner with Tori and Jade when she encounters a guy named Evan Smith. She stays in her character because he tell him that he's into blondes. However, Cat ends up lying to him and they break up. Robbie cheers her up by singing the song, making her feel better.

Lyrics[]

I think you're swell
I think you're swell
I think you're swell
I think you're swell

You're the nugget in my ChickenMc
The peanuts in my butter
Adding fiber to our diets
Beneficial for each other
You're a piece of dental floss and I am the teeth
You're Aretha Franklin, I'm R-E-S-P-E-C-T
You're a baby giraffe and I'm a safety ranger
You're the father and ghost, I'm baby Jesus in the manger
Our love spans 40 acres, filled with apple trees
You're Thanksgiving, I'm the turkey
You're Akeelah, I'm the bee
You're a guitar, I'm the strings like a jet ski in the water
You're New York, I'm the buildings
You're my mother, I'm your father
And I think you're swell
I think you're swell
I think you're swell

If you're Bobby, I'll be Whitney
If you're Method, I'll be Redman
If you're Carrie, I'm Samantha
If you're Oprah, I'll be Stedman
If you're Leia, I'm Han Solo
If you're Warbucks, I'll be Annie
If you're Puff the magic dragon, I'll be Peter, Paul, and Mary
I love you like a Cops marathon on TV
I love you more than the original Star Wars trilogy
I am the walrus, you are the goo goo gajoo
I'm a whole lot of nothing, you are the much ado
When I say I'm in love it's more than any love has meant
And if we ever go jogging I'll be your antiperspirant

And I think you're swell
I think you're swell
I think you're swell

And everyday when you're walking down the street
Is like every other day because you're constantly walking down the street
And everyday I'm only thinking about you
And a bunch of other important things, but primarily you
And that's true

Cuz I think you're swell
I think you're swell
I think you're swell
I think you're swell

I'll be the Jagger to your Richards
The Bruce Willis to your Die Hard ("The Kirk to your Picard" in the Victorious Soundtrack version and the episode)
If you're a molten lava room I'll be the one inept guard
You're the tofu to my hippie, the words in my dictionary
If you're Sporty and Ginger I'll be Baby Posh and Scary
We go together like pastrami on rye
Like watching Titanic and trying not to cry
You're in my mind like a song
You're in my head like a zombie
You're more fun than Frisbee in the park
Or popping edamame.
We go together like a parade to confetti
And later if you're hungry I'll make you some spaghetti

And I think you're swell
I think you're swell
I think you're swell

Trivia[]

  • Before the song's release on the album Victorious 2.0: More Music From the Hit TV Show, Matt Bennett confirmed the name of the song on his Twitter account.[1]

  • The song was sung again in the Sam & Cat crossover special #TheKillerTunaJump: #Freddie #Jade #Robbie.
  • Matt Bennett confirmed in a 2020 interview that he wrote the song in his bedroom back in 2009. Usually, he performs the song in a more upbeat way but chose to fingerpick the song in the episode to sound more like a ballad.[2]
  • The album version of the song changes the lyric "The Bruce Willis to your Die Hard" to "The Kirk to your Picard". Since Matt Bennett wrote the song himself, this is most likely an ad-lib or mistake made him by him when the studio version was recorded.
