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:
"it's great to be ghost!"
Pablo:
woooo-ooo-ooo... Woooo-ooo-ooo!
Woooo-ooo-ooo!
Woooo-ooo-ooo!
Hi, it's me, pablo!
Woooo-ooo-ooo!
Boo!
(Chuckle)
Did I scare you?
That's 'cause I'm a ghost.
Ghosts put their arms out
like this.
And they float around,
And they make noises
like this wooo-ooo!
It's great to be a ghost!
* When I make
that moanin' sound *
* I get the urge
to float around *
* With my arms stretched out *
* I could float all day
* And there's a word
that I heard *
* A ghost once say...
* It's boo!
* I say boo!
* Oh boo! Boo! Boo!
* Yeah, boo to you!
* Not a care in the world
* You'll hear me boast
* Cause...
* Boo!
It's great to be a ghost! *
Uniqua:
come on, tyrone!
Let's play hide and go seek!
Tyrone:
okay.
Oh! I almost forgot
What the best part
about being a ghost is!
Ghosts like to haunt people!
That means you sneak up
on them and yell boo!
And it looks like I just
found two people to haunt!
Tyrone:
okay, uniqua,
I'll hide while
you count to ten.
Uniqua:
one, two, three...
Pablo:
woooo-ooo-ooo!
(Gasp)
What was that spooky sound?
Uniqua:
sounds like a ghost!
Tyrone:
a ghost?
Yeah!
Let's go find him!
But, but,
ghosts make me nervous.
Uniqua:
don't worry, just follow me.
Pablo:
woooo-ooo-ooo!
Tyrone:
there it is again!
Uniqua:
yeah, it's coming
from over there.
C'mon!
All right, ghost!
Come out, come out
wherever you are.
Tyrone:
yeah, wherever you are.
Uniqua:
I wonder where that ghost-
Pablo:
boo!
Uniqua and tyrone:
ahhhhh!
All:
(giggle)
Did I scare you?
Did I scare you?
Tyrone:
uh-huh, I was really scared.
Uniqua:
(giggling) yeah!
You're a good ghost!
Pablo:
(laughing)
It's great to be a ghost!
Uniqua:
well, we want to be ghosts too!
Right, tyrone?
I don't know.
Ghosts make me nervous.
Uniqua:
there's nothing
to be nervous about.
Pablo:
yeah, tyrone.
It's great to be a ghost!
* First you make
a moanin' sound *
* Hold your arms out
to float around *
* But that's not all, *
* 'Cause I'm sure you've heard
* About a ghost's all-time
favorite word. *
It's boo!
Uniqua:
(scream) * I say boo!
Pablo:
(scream)
Uniqua:
* oh boo! Boo! Boo!
Pablo:
* yeah, boo to you!
Pablo and uniqua:
* not a care in the world
* You'll hear us boast,
cause... *
Uniqua:
boo!
* It's great to be a ghost!
**
Now you try it, tyrone.
Tyrone:
* I'll try and make
that moanin' sound *
* And maybe I'll start
to float around *
* But I'm nervous
* 'Cause I'm not so sure
* About the word
that I just heard. *
Uniqua:
* it's boo!
Tyrone:
* you say boo?
Pablo and uniqua:
* yeah!
Tyrone:
* oh boo! Boo! Boo!
Uniqua:
* you know it's true!
Pablo and uniqua:
* not a care in the world
* You'll hear us boast,
* Cause...
* Boo!
It's great to be a ghost! *
* Boo!
It's great to be a ghost! *
All:
* we said boo!
* It's great to be a ghost!
Boo!
(Giggles)
Pablo:
now that we're all ghosts,
We need a place to haunt.
Tyrone:
uh, like a haunted house?
Uniqua:
yeah, a haunted house!
Great idea, tyrone!
Pablo:
right, a haunted house
with a rickety fence.
Uniqua:
and an old front porch
with lots of spooky cobwebs.
Pablo:
and don't forget the giant
creaky front door.
(Crows caw)
Uniqua and pablo:
ooh! Spooky!
Tyrone:
yeah, spooky.
Uniqua:
hey, I can see right
through you!
Pablo:
yeah, we're transparent!
Uniqua and pablo:
spooky!
Tyrone:
yeah, spooky.
Uniqua:
it's great to be a ghost!
Pablo:
let's go see what kind
of spooky stuff
Is inside the haunted house.
Being transparent
makes me a little nervous.
Uniqua:
c'mon tyrone!
(Owl hoots)
(Gasp)
Pablo:
okay, ghosts,
get ready to do some haunting.
Hey, the doors locked!
Tyrone:
oh well, let's go home.
Uniqua:
wait a minute.
Hey pablo,
why don't you try the doorbell.
Oh yeah,
the doorbell.
(Doorbell)
Tyrone:
well, looks like
nobody is home.
Let's go.
Uniqua:
hey, wait a minute.
We're ghosts.
We can float
through the doors.
Watch this.
Woooo-ooo-ooo!
(Gasps)
Tyrone:
whoa!
Pablo:
cool.
Uniqua:
it worked.
Come on, you guys.
Pablo:
okay. I'm next. I'm next.
Stand back.
Woooo-ooo-ooo!
Uniqua:
c'mon tyrone!
You can do it.
Pablo:
remember, you have to go
wooo-oooo!
Tyrone:
woo?
Uniqua and pablo:
no, louder!
Woooo-ooo!
Uniqua:
all right, tyrone, you made it!
Pablo:
tyrone, you can open
your eyes now.
Uniqua:
sure is spooky in here.
Pablo:
yeah, really spooky!
Uniqua:
this is spookiest
haunted house ever!
Tyrone:
haunted houses make me nervous.
We can haunt this whole house!
All we need
is someone to scare.
Uniqua:
like an unsuspecting stranger?
Pablo:
yeah!
An unsuspecting stranger!
Uniqua:
hey, let's practice!
Practice?
Practice what?
Practice being ghosts,
silly!
Pablo:
yeah, c'mon ghosts!
Follow me!
Uniqua:
it's okay, tyrone.
Just stick with us.
Tyrone:
well, okay.
Pablo:
wow!
Look at all these spooky
old paintings.
This is a really good
place to practice!
Uniqua:
go ahead, tyrone!
Do something spooky!
Uhhh... I can't think
of anything.
Pablo:
well, I can!
Check this out.
Woooo-ooo-oo...
Wow! Spooky,
huh, tyrone?
Yeah, spooky.
Pablo:
okay, you guys walk by me
And I'll try to scare you.
Uniqua:
okay! C'mon, tyrone.
Pablo:
ready, you guys?
Uniqua:
ready!
C'mon.
There sure are a lot of spooky
paintings in this house,
Huh, tyrone?
Tyrone:
there certainly are.
Pablo:
boo!
(Screaming)
Pablo:
did I scare you?
Did I scare you?
Uh-huh.
Yeah!
That was really spooky!
Thanks!
It wasn't really
that hard.
Uniqua:
okay, tyrone,
now you do something spooky.
Tyrone:
I don't know.
Uniqua:
then I'll go.
What are you gonna do,
uniqua?
I'm gonna turn invisible
and move stuff around.
Ooh, spooky!
Huh, tyrone?
Yeah,
really spooky.
Uniqua:
okay, you guys.
When I say ready,
You guys walk down the hall
and I'll try to scare you.
Pablo:
okay!
I'm going to turn invisible.
Watch this.
Wooooo-ooooo-ooo!
Now they won't be able
to see me!
Okay, guys, ready!
Pablo:
okay! Here we come!
Uniqua:
this is really
going to scare them.
Woo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oo!
(Gasps)
Pablo:
hey, look at that!
Tyrone:
it's floating!
Pablo:
that's really spooky, huh?
Tyrone:
yeah.
Uh, pablo...
Pablo:
yeah?
Uniqua:

(Screaming)
(Giggles)
(Giggling and panting)
Uniqua:
pretty spooky, huh, guys?
Yeah!
Yeah.
Pablo:
yeah. You're a really
good ghost, uniqua!
Uniqua:
thanks!
See, tyrone?
It's easy.
It just takes a little
practice.
(Doorbell)
What was that?
Someone's at the front door!
I wonder who it could be.
Uniqua:
maybe it's an...
Pablo and uniqua:
unsuspecting stranger!
Pablo:
let's try and scare them!
Uniqua:
yeah!
But I didn't get to practice.
(Doorbell)
Tasha:
hello? Anybody home?
Pablo:
okay, you guys,
when I open the door
We'll all jump out
and yell boo! Okay?
Uniqua and tyrone:
okay.
Tasha:
hello? Anybody home?
Hello?
All:
boo!
Tasha:
oh, hey you guys!
Thanks for opening the door.
Tyrone:
you're welcome.
Tasha:
what a nice place.
Maybe a little dusty,
And there's a lot of cobwebs.
Pablo:
hey, wait! Aren't you scared?
Uniqua:
yeah!
Tasha:
scared?
Of what?
Pablo:
of us!
Uniqua:
we're ghosts!
Pablo:
yeah, we're ghosts!
Uniqua:
and you're an unsuspecting
stranger.
I may be an unsuspecting
stranger,
But you're gonna have to
try a lot harder than that
To scare me.
Pablo:
how come?
Because I'm not scared
of anything!
Tyrone:
you're not?
Pablo:
not even a big old spooky
haunted house?
Tasha:
nope.
Uniqua:
all filled with creepy cobwebs
and shadowy staircases?
Tasha:
of course not.
What's so scary about that?
Pablo:
* have you heard
the wind howl? *
Uniqua:
* or a big door slam?
Tyrone:
* have you shared
a midnight snack *
* With the boogie man?
Pablo and uniqua:
oooooooh!
Tasha:
* I hear what you're saying,
* But in spite of all that
* I say...
* What's so scary about that?
* You see...
* I'm not scared of nothin'
* Not anything you do.
Pablo:
* how about a ghoulish scream?
* Or a ghostly boo?
Tyrone:

Tasha:
* so you think I'm scared
of your spooky trap? *
* I say...
* What's so scary about that?
* Listen...
* Are you scared
of dark shadows *
* That go bump in the night?
* Do you leave the door open?
* I've got two night lights!
* Well, that's okay
if you're a scare-dee cat! *
Tyrone:

Tasha:
* I say...
* What's so scary about that? *
All:
* well, yes we're ghosts
and you know it's true *
* That our plan all along
was to try and scare you. *
Uniqua and tyrone:

I know! We can play hide
and go boo!
That'll scare you.
Yeah! Hide and go boo!
It's like hide and go seek
only scarier.
How do you play that?
Pablo:

and counts to ,
And we all hide.
Uniqua:

You come look for us,
And that's
when we'll scare you.
Tasha:
