Hi, I'm pablo.
My name's tyrone.
I'm uniqua.
I'm tasha.
And my name's austin.
All:
and we're...
* Your backyard friends,
the backyardigans *
* Together with
the backyardigans *
Pablo:
* in the place
where we belong *
Uniqua:
* where we'll probably
sing a song *
Tasha:
* and we'll maybe dance along
All:
* we've got the whole wide world
in our yard to explore *
* We always find things
we've never seen before *
* That's why every day
we're back for more *
* With your friends,
* The backyardigans *
All:
"the heart of the jungle"
Tyrone:
(tarzan yell)
oooohh-oh-ooooh-oh-ooooooh!
(Tarzan yell)
(Tarzan yell)
(Tarzan yell)
Hey, it's me, tyrone!
I'm tarzan.
I live in a jungle
and I can talk to animals.
That's why they call me
tarzan of the animals.
And I do this...
(Tarzan yell)
* I'm tarzan, I'm tarzan,
* Tarzan the animal guy.
* I'm tarzan, I'm tarzan,
* Tarzan the animal guy.
* I live deep in the jungle
* With the bugs
and beasts and the birds. *
* I understand their noises
* And they understand
my words. *
* 'Cause I'm tarzan,
I'm tarzan, *
* Tarzan the animal guy.
* I'm tarzan, I'm tarzan,
* Tarzan the animal guy.
* When I talk I growl
and squawk, *
* And here's the reason why
* I'm tarzan, I'm tarzan,
* Tarzan the animal guy.
(Tarzan yell)
Pablo:
hi tyrone.
You're tarzan,
aren't you?
Hey pablo.
I certainly am tarzan.
I can tell because
I'm tarzan, too.
Really?
Yeah. I'm tarzan
the very strong.
I live in the jungle,
I swing on vines,
And of course,
I do this...
(Tarzan yell)
Cool.
* I'm tarzan.
* You're tarzan.
Tyrone and pablo:
* tarzan the very strong.
* I'm tarzan.
* You're tarzan.
Tyrone and pablo:
* tarzan the very strong.
* I break up big boulders
and grind them into sand *
* And he can lift an elephant
in the air with just one hand *
* 'Cause he's tarzan.
* I'm tarzan.
Tyrone and pablo:
* tarzan the very strong.
* I'm tarzan.
* You're tarzan.
* Tarzan the very strong.
* I'm faster than a cheetah,
and mighty as king kong. *
Tyrone:
* he's tarzan.
Pablo:
* I'm tarzan.
Tyrone and pablo:
* tarzan the very strong.
(Tarzan yell)
Austin:
you tarzan?
You betcha, austin.
I'm tarzan
of the animals.
I'm tarzan
the very strong.
Austin:
me tarzan, too.
Really?
I could tell.
Are you tarzan
who doesn't say too much?
Austin:
(nodding) ugh.
Pablo and tyrone:
cool.
Austin:
(tarzan yell)
Tyrone:
* he's tarzan. *
Pablo:
* he's tarzan.
Pablo and tyrone:
* who doesn't say too much.
Austin:
ugh!
Tyrone:
* he's tarzan.
Pablo:
* he's tarzan.
Tyrone and pablo:
* who doesn't say too much.
Ugh!
Tyrone:
* he listens close
to all the sounds *
* When he takes a jungle walk;
Pablo:
* your listening skills
get really good *
* When you hardly ever talk.
Tyrone:
* he swings through the treetops
to his viney jungle pad. *
Pablo:
* he only says important things,
for instance... *
Austin:
quicksand bad!
Tyrone:
* he's tarzan.
Pablo:
* he's tarzan.
Tyrone:
* who doesn't say so much.
Austin:
ugh!
Pablo:
* he's tarzan.
Tyrone:
* he's tarzan.
Tyrone and pablo:
* who doesn't say too much.
Tyrone:
* he rarely ever bothers
with nouns and verbs and such. *
* He's tarzan.
Pablo:
* he's tarzan.
Tyrone:
* he's tarzan.
Pablo:
* he's tarzan.
Tyrone and pablo:
* who doesn't say too much.
All:
(tarzan yell)
Uniqua:
hey there!
Pablo:
uniqua!
Austin:
you tarzan, too?
Nope.
Actually,
I'm professor uniqua,
The brilliant scientist.
Tyrone:
oh.
Uniqua:
you know, I explore unknown
places and discover things.
Look what I just discovered!
Tyrone:
I've never seen anything
like it.
Have you?
Pablo and austin:
no.
Uniqua:
he's a worman.
His name is sherman.
Austin:
him look sad.
I think it's because he can't
find the other wormans.
He's lost.
Pablo:
where does he come from?
Uniqua:
I don't know.
That's the next thing
I'm gonna discover,
So I can take him home.
Tyrone:
I could ask him where he lives.
I can talk to animals,
you know.
Uniqua:
well, okay, I guess.
But it's not very scientific.
Tyrone:
(squeaky, wormy noises)
(Squeaky, wormy noises)
Pablo:
what's he saying?
Tyrone:
he says he's from
the heart of the jungle.
Where there are lots
and lots of tall trees.
Austin:
and vines too.
Pablo:
yeah! Long, twisty,
tangly vines.
Uniqua:
and beautiful tropical flowers.
Tyrone, pablo and austin:
(tarzan yells)
(Tarzan yell)
Uniqua:
well sherman, here we are.
Which way to the heart
of the jungle?
(Squeaky noises)
Uniqua:
okay, then let's go this way!
See you!
Tyrone:
hey! Wait!
Pablo:
uniqua, hold on!
Ugh!
Tyrone:
you can't explore
the jungle without us!
Pablo:
you need us to guide you!
And keep you
from jungle perils.
Jungle perils?
Pablo:
yeah, things you have
to watch out for.
Uniqua:
like what?
Tyrone:
well, there are can't-see-'ems.
Can't-see-'ems?
What are those?
Pablo:
bugs so small you almost
can't see them.
They buzz all around
and tickle you.
Uniqua:
well, I'm not afraid of bugs.
Tyrone:
and there are so many trees
and leaves and vines,
It's hard to see
where you're going.
Pablo:
you can get lost.
Uniqua:
that's okay.
Getting lost
is part of exploring.
Tyrone:
and it rains hard.
I'm not afraid of rain.
Tyrone:
no, I mean it really
rains hard.
Well, I brought my umbrella.
Pablo:
and, and....
Tyrone:
quicksand!
Pablo:
yeah, quicksand!
Austin:
quicksand bad!
Uniqua:
there's no quicksand
in the jungle.
It's a scientific fact.
But you guys can come
if you want.
Just hurry because we have
to get sherman home.
She's gonna need our help
just wait and see.
Uniqua:
this is an excellent place
To start looking
for where wormans live.
Austin:
how do that?
Wherever we go,
We ask sherman if anything
looks familiar.
If it does, it means
we're near his home.
* Where in the world
do the wormans live? *
* There's only one way
of knowing. *
* Scientifically
search and search *
* 'Til we get to the place
we're going. *
* Hey sherman, hey sherman,
could this be the spot? *
(Squeak squeak squeak)
Tyrone:
* he says no way
* 'Cause it doesn't have
what his home has got. *
Pablo:
* hey sherman, hey sherman,
* Just what things are those? *
Sherman:
(squeak squeak squeak)
Tyrone:
* his worman friends
his worman toys *
* And his worman clothes
All:
* where in the world
do the wormans live *
* In the heart
of the jungle, jungle? *
* Where in the world
do the wormans live *
* In the heart
of the jungle's heart? *
Pablo:
* hey sherman,
* Could this be
where wormans might dwell? *
Sherman:
(squeak)
Tyrone:
* he says uh-uh,
* Because it doesn't have
that worman smell. *
Uniqua:
* hey sherman,
* Is this where
the wormans hang out? *
Sherman:
(squeak)
Tyrone:
* he says it isn't
* And he's says he's getting
quite bummed out. *
Uniqua:
* don't get discouraged,
little sherman pal, *
* Don't get yourself depressed
and stressful. *
* We haven't found
your home just yet, *
* But we'll search
* 'Til we're successful.
Let's go.
We've got to get sherman home
to the heart of the jungle.
Tyrone:
watch out, professor uniqua!
That could be quicksand!
Pablo:
you could sink
right down into it!
Austin:
quicksand bad!
Uniqua:
there's no quicksand
in the jungle.
Tyrone:
let's poke it with a stick,
just in case.
Uniqua:
sticks are for tarzan.
I'm a scientist.
Austin:
me poke it.
Pablo:
nope, it's not quicksand.
But let's keep the stick,
just in case.
I told you there's no quicksand
anywhere around here.
C'mon, this way!
Tyrone:
professor uniqua, wait!
Pablo:
not that way!
Uh-oh.
Tyrone:
I think we should
get out of here.
There may be can't-see-'ems
around here.
Austin:
can't-see-'ems bad!
Uniqua:
I don't see anything.
Pablo:
you can't!
That's why they're called
can't-see-'ems.
Tyrone:
except when there's
a lot of them.
Pablo:
yeah, then you can
kind of see 'em.
Professor uniqua,
Let's go before
the can't-see-'ems find us!
Tyrone:
and tickle us!
Austin:
ugh!
Uniqua:
we can't leave
Until we find out
if this is where sherman lives.
How about it sherman?
Sherman:
(squeak)
Austin:
uh-oh.
Pablo:
can't-see-'ems!
Tyrone:
run!
All:
ahh! Look guys, keep going!
Run! Look,
they're gonna get us!
No, go faster!
Ugh!
Speed it up!
Can't-see-'ems bad!
Ugh!
Tyrone:
uh-oh.
Looks like we're going
to get tickled.
All:
(giggles)
Uniqua:
hey! Shoo! Get out of here!
Stop tickling those tarzans!
All:
(laughing)
There!
Tyrone:
you got rid
of the can't-see-'ems.
Uniqua:
bug-away -
it chases the bugs away.
Scientists always carry it
in their bags.
Don't tarzans have bug-away?
Pablo:
no, we just try to outrun them.
That's not very scientific.
Austin:
tarzan's not scientific.
Uniqua:
you can say that again.
But we've gotta keep going.
We haven't found sherman's home
in the heart of the jungle yet.
This way!
Professor uniqua, wait!
Not that way!
Ugh!
All:
* into the thick of it!
* Into the thick of it!
* Into the thick of it!
Austin:
ugh!
Uniqua:
* we're tramping
through the bush, *
* On and on we push
Tyrone:
* into the thick of it,
* But we can't see where
we're going. *
Uniqua:
* we've made a stellar start
* To find the jungle's heart,
Tyrone:
* but all we'll find
is nothing *
* If we can't see where
we're going! *
All:
* into the thick of it!
* Into the thick of it!
* Into the thick of it!
* But we can't see where
we're going! *
Uniqua:
what a beautiful flower.
Let's go this way.
* Into the thick of it!
* Into the thick of it!
* Into the thick of it!
Tyrone and pablo:
* but we can't see where
we're going. *
Austin:
ugh!
* The jungle's kind of tricky,
* The path is never straight.
Tyrone:
* and sometimes there's
no path at all, *
* Which makes it hard
to navigate. *
Austin:
ugh!
Uniqua:
* although the jungle's thick,
* We're moving through it
quick. *
* But that won't do us
any good *
* If we're going around
in circles. *
Uniqua:
what a beautiful flower!
This way!
All:
* into the thick of it! *
* Into the thick of it!
* Into the thick of it!
Pablo:
* we're going around
in circles! *
Ugh!
Uniqua:
what a beautiful flower-
uh-oh.
* These trees look
so familiar *
* We've been here
once before. *
Tyrone:
* you're right,
except it wasn't once. *
Pablo:
* it was three times
Austin:
* or four.
All:
* stuck in the thick of it!
* Stuck in the thick of it!
* Stuck in the thick of it!
* We've gone around
in circles. *
Uniqua:
oh no! We have gone around
in circles.
Austin:
us lost.
Tyrone:
we certainly are.
(Sigh)
Uniqua:
(sigh)
Tyrone and pablo:
(sigh)
Austin:
ugh.
Pablo:
no wonder we're lost.
It's the trees.
There are so many of them
You can't see where
you're going.
Tyrone:
you can't see
with all those leaves.
Austin:
and vines.
Vines! That's it!
Pablo:
professor uniqua
just swung on a vine.
Austin:
like tarzan.
But it didn't work.
Tyrone:
well, it only works
if you do the tarzan yell.
All:
(tarzan yell)
That's not very scientific,
but okay.
(Tarzan yell)
Hey! I can see exactly where
I'm going from up here.
(Tarzan yell)
Tyrone:
professor uniqua!
Pablo:
wait for us!
Austin:
ugh!
All:
* we're tarzans,
we're tarzans, *
* Tarzans are swinging guys.
* We're tarzans,
we're tarzans, *
* Tarzans are swinging guys.
* The view is clear
from way up here, *
* We're tarzans,
we're tarzans, *
* Tarzans are swinging guys!
(Tarzan yell)
Uniqua:
we must be getting close
to the heart of the jungle.
Tyrone:
are we close to your home yet,
sherman?
(Squeak, squeak, squeak)
Tyrone:
hey, it's raining.
Pablo:
it's raining! It's raining!
Austin:
uh-oh.
Uniqua:
rain is nothing to worry about.
I've got my umbrella.
Tyrone:
* it's drizzling and raining,
and dripping and raining, *
* We're trying to search
and explore. *
Pablo:
* but we can't 'cause
it's raining and pouring *
* And raining and teeming
and raining some more. *
Uniqua:
* don't worry you fellas,
I brought my umbrella *
* And this is
specifically why. *
* It's big,
it's terrific, *
* And it's scientifically
proven to keep us all dry. *
* Please stop your complaining,
this light little raining, *
* Will end in a minute,
I guess. *
Pablo:
* you call this a little;
it's up to my middle. *
Tyrone:
* well what do you call it?
Austin:
* a mess.
Tyrone:
* the water's increasing,
with no sign of ceasing; *
* I'd rather be warm
in my camp *
Pablo:
* than here where it's raining,
and drippy and raining, *
* And soggy
and raining and damp. *
Austin:
uh-oh!
Uniqua:
it broke off!
Pablo:
we're floating!
Tyrone:
we're floating away!
Tyrone and pablo:
* who knows where we'll float
* With a leaf for a boat
* In the rainy
and watery damp. *
Pablo:
do you hear that?
Tyrone:
what is that?
Austin:
uh-oh.
Tyrone:
we're heading
for the waterfall!
Pablo:
what're we gonna do?
Uniqua:
everybody grab on!
We'll swing over to the bank!
Pablo:
you need a strong tarzan
for this,
And I'm tarzan the strong.
All:
whoa!
Austin:
ompf!
Tyrone:
ompf!
Austin:
ugh!
Tyrone:
thanks pablo.
You certainly are strong.
Pablo:
oh, it's nothing.
Very strong tarzans
do that all the time.
(Tarzan yell)
All:
(giggle)
Uniqua:
it's always a good idea
to bring your umbrella
When you go exploring.
Sherman:
(happy chirps)
Tyrone:
sherman says we're close
to where he lives!
Uniqua:
the heart of the jungle!
Come on! This way!
Tyrone:
professor uniqua!
Pablo:
hey! Wait up!
Austin:
ugh!
Wormans:
(chirp, chirp, chirp)
Uniqua:
shhhh. Listen.
(Chirp)
Tyrone:
it's the wormans.
They're all saying,
"welcome home, sherman!"
Uniqua:
sherman,
You're home!
(Squeak, squeak, squeak)
Pablo:
sherman found
the other wormans!
All right!
Sherman:
(squeak, squeak, squeak)
Uniqua:
bye sherman, bye!
Pablo:
bye sherman!
We'll miss you!
Austin:
sherman. Bye, bye!
Sherman:
(squeak, squeak, squeak)
Uniqua:
well, we discovered
the heart of the jungle.
Tyrone:
and got sherman back home.
Austin:
feel good.
Pablo:
me too.
Tyrone:
me three!
Uniqua:
I'd better get back
to my scientific lab
And report our discovery.
This way!
Quicksand!
Uniqua:
tarzan of few words,
I told you again and again,
There is no quicksand
in the jungle!
Oh!
Tyrone:
uh-oh.
Austin:
quicksand bad!
Pablo:
oh no! It's quicksand!
Don't worry, uniqua,
we'll get you out!
Uniqua:
uh... You guys,
I'm sinking over here!
Pablo:
okay, okay, stay calm.
Tyrone:
hey, you still got your stick?
Austin:
you betcha!
Tyrone:
pablo.
Pablo:
yeah?
Tyrone:
come on.
Okay.
Tyrone:
one, two, three!
All:
(grunting)
(Sigh)
thank you so much.
I couldn't have
gotten out without you.
Tyrone:
we knew you'd need our help,
uniqua.
Pablo:
because we're tarzans,
And we know all about
the perils of the jungle.
Austin:
quicksand bad!
Uniqua:
you are absolutely right.
All:
(tarzan yell)
(Austin's stomach rumbles)
Tyrone:
is that your stomach?
Austin:
ugh.
Pablo:
you know what that means.
All:
snack time!
Uniqua:
want to come to my house
for snack today?
We got pretzels.
Austin:
cool.
Pablo:
pretzels!
Tyrone:
I love pretzels.
All:
(tarzan yell)
Tyrone:
that was a very tarzany
adventure,
Don't you think?
Pablo and austin:
yeah!
Uniqua:
totally!
All:
* we've got the whole wide world
in our yard to explore *
* Now it's time for us
to have a snack *
* Meet you next time
when we're back *
* With your friends,
the backyardigans! *
Pablo:
see you.
Tyrone:
later.
Austin:
see you!
Uniqua:
see you next time.
All:
