Hey, a rope!

A cowboy can always
use a rope.

I wonder if it belongs
to anybody around here?

Hello? Hello!

Anybody lose a rope?

Oh well, maybe I'll find who
owns it on my way to texas!

Uniqua:
hey tasha!

Do you wanna play jump rope?

Tasha:
oh yes, I love to jump rope.

Uniqua:
I thought I left it
over here.

Pablo:
hey, what are you doing?

Tasha:
we're looking for uniqua's
jump rope.

Uniqua:
you haven't seen it,
have you?

Pablo:
nope.

Where'd you leave it?

Right here.

Whoa!
Look, tracks!

Uniqua:
pointy toe cowboy boots!

You know what that means.

Pablo:
yup.

Tasha:
what?

Uniqua:
it means we've got
a bandit on our hands.

Tasha:
a bandit?

Pablo:
yup!

A no-good, thieving
varmint who steals stuff.

Tasha:
you think he stole
the jump rope?

I reckon he did.

Uniqua:
we have to track him down.

Pablo:
even if we have to go
all the way to texas!

Tasha:
texas?

Uniqua:
that's right, amigos!

Time to saddle up
and head for the wild west.

Pablo:
in the wild west
there are lonesome deserts...

Uniqua:
and big cactuses...

Pablo:
and beautiful western skies!

(Horse snort)

(Horse neigh)

Tyrone:
yahoo!

Pablo:
yup. He came this way.

The tracks are still fresh.

He must have got on his horse
right here.

How can you tell?

Well, ma'am,
I am an expert tracker.

I can follow that thieving
bandit wherever he goes.

Even all the way
to texas?

Pablo:
yup!

Uniqua:
let's ride!

Giddy up, pal!

Tasha:

Uniqua:
whoa! This sure isn't
the way out.

Tasha:
maybe we should go back
that way.

Uniqua:
but we just came
from that way.

Well, you know what
that means.

Uniqua:
yup.

Tasha:
what?

We're lost.

Time to yell
for help!

Help! Help!

All:
help!

Uniqua and tasha:
can anybody hear us?
Hello!

Uniqua and pablo:
help!

Tasha:
is anybody there?

Howdy, partners!

I'm cowboy tyrone,
and this is my horse, harvey.

All:
howdy!

Uniqua:
can you tell us
how to get out of here?

Surely.

You gotta get your
horses to climb out.

Tasha:
climb out?

Pablo:
all the way up there?

Tyrone:
yup.

Pablo:
how do we do that?

Tyrone:
well, horses love apples.

Want an apple, boy?

(Horse neighs)

Pablo:
whoa! Way to go,
old paint!

Tyrone:
here you go, boy.

Tasha:
oh my!

Uniqua:
got any more apples?

I got a bag full of them.

Get up!

(Horses neigh)

Tasha and uniqua:
weee! Yahoo!

Tasha:
that was amazing,
cowboy tyrone.

Tyrone:
just an old cowboy trick,
ma'am.

Horses sure do love apples.

What are you all doing
in these parts?

Uniqua:
chasing a thieving bandit!

Pablo:
we've been following
his tracks for many a mile.

Tasha:
have you seen him?

I surely haven't ma'am,
but I'll keep an eye out.

Pablo:
maybe you could help us
find him.

I'd love to help you all,
but I can't.

'Cause I've got to get to texas
in time for the hoe-down.

Adios, now.

All:
adios, cowboy tyrone!

Tasha:
it's lucky he came along.

Pablo:
now that's one swell hombre.

Uniqua:
but now we've lost
the bandit's tracks.

Pablo:
don't worry,
I'll find them again.

I am an expert tracker.

Hey, look!

Tracks!
Heading west!

Uniqua:
let's ride!

Yes indeed, harvey,
it's almost hoe-down time.

(Horse neighs)

Looks like we got us
a river to cross, harvey!

Giddy up!

Yaaaaa-hooo!

Pablo:
the bandit's tracks
lead right to... Here.

Uniqua:
the bandit must have
jumped across on his horse.

Pablo:
now that's one clever varmint!

Tasha:
oh my, how do we get
over there?

Uniqua:
same way he did. Jump!

Giddy up, pal!

Yaaaaa-hoo!

Tasha:
giddy up, princess.

Yaaaaa-hoo!

Uniqua:
come on, pablo,
it's your turn.

Okay, old paint,
don't let me down.

Giddy up!

Come on, old paint!

Ride 'em, pablo!

Pablo:
ahhhhh!

Well, at least
I made it over here.

Tasha:
yeah, but there goes old paint!

Pablo:
old paint!

Come back, old paint!

No! Old paint!
Don't go!

Tarnation!

Pablo:
old paint! Old paint!

Old paint!

Tasha:
oh my!

I don't see him anymore,
do you?

Uniqua:
nope. We lost him.

Tarnation!

Pablo:
oh man! I lost my horse!

Oh no! Oh no!
What are we going to do?

I'm a cowboy
without a horse!

Who ever heard of a cowboy
without a horse?!

Uniqua:
pablo? Pablo!

Pablo:
what am I going to do?
Yeah?

Uniqua:
look.

Pablo:
old paint!

Tyrone:
I was just coolin' my toes in
the river when he trotted by.

I fed him an apple,
and he hopped over.

If there's one thing
horses love...

Tasha and uniqua:
...it's apples.

Pablo:
thanks cowboy tyrone.

Tyrone:
you're welcome.

Are you sure you don't wanna
help us catch the bandit?

Tyrone:
sorry, partners,
no can do.

But you're not gonna catch
anyone right now,

Because the sun's going down.

When the sun sets
on the prairie,

There's just one thing to do.

Tasha:
what?

Set up camp for the evening.

Y'all care to join me?

Uniqua and pablo:
thank you. Yeah.

This will keep the horses
from running off.

Well, guess it's time
for bed.

Pablo:
(yawn) time to get some
shut-eye.

Gotta leave at dawn tomorrow.

Good night, partners.

Pablo:
good night.

Tasha:
good night.

Uniqua:
good night.

(Yawn)

The sun's rising,
and I gotta head for texas.

I'll just let
these partners sleep in.

Breakfast time, harvey.

Have an apple,
and let's hit the trail.

* Yee-haw,
texas here I come *

* Yee-haw, yee-haw,
yippie-yi-yo *

* Texas here I come *

* Once I cross
that rio grand *

* I'll find me
a piece of texas land *

* And play in a texas
hip-hop band *

* Texas here I come

* Yee-haw, yippie-yi-yo

* Texas here I come *

* Yee-haw, yippie-yi,
yippie-yi-yo, *

* Texas here I come

* The sky is wide
and the ponies strong *

* The boots are pointy
and the trails are long *

* I'll ride and I'll rope
and I'll sing my song *

* Texas here I come

* Yee-haw, yippie-
yippie-yi-yi-yo, *

* Texas here I come

* I'll build a corral
that's wide and flat *

* And raise up cattle
big and fat *

* That's where I'll hang
my texas hat *

* Yee-haw, yippie-yi-yo

* Yee-haw, yippie-
yippie-yi-yi-yo, *

* Texas here I come

* Yee-haw, yippie-
yi-yippie-yi-yo, *

* Texas here I come

* Yee-haw,
yippie-yi-yo-yo, *

* Texas here I come

Pablo:
(yawn) sun's up!

Tasha:
(yawn)

Uniqua:
time to hit the trail.

Let's saddle up and-

Tarnation!

The horses are gone!

Oh no!
Where's princess?

Pablo:
look! Tracks!

Uniqua:
pointy toe cowboy boots!

That bandit must've
stolen our horses

While we were sleeping.

Tasha:
hey, where's cowboy tyrone?

Pablo:
maybe the bandit captured him,
too!

Tarnation, amigos.

Cowboy tyrone saved us,

So we've got to save him.

And our horses.

You're right.
And even without a horse,

I'm still the best tracker
in the west!

Let's follow
those tracks.

Finally!
The texas state line.

Yee-haw, yippie-yi-o!

Texas, here I am!

Now all I need

Is a place to take a nap
before the hoe-down.

And I know just the place.

Pablo:
the tracks are fading, amigos.

Tasha:
that's 'cause the bandit's
on horseback,

And we're walking.

We need to go faster.

But how?

Tarnation!
That's how. C'mon.

Tasha:
* yee-haw, yee-haw,
yippie-yippie-yi-yo, *

* Texas here we come

Pablo:
* yee-haw,
yippie-yi-yi-yo, *

* Texas here we come

All:
* we'll catch that bandit, *

* Save our friend,

* And get our horses back
in the end *

* Western justice we defend

* Texas here we come

Tyrone:
old man whistler's cabin.

He's in californy,

But he wouldn't mind

If I took a nap here
before the hoe-down.

(Horse neigh)

Tasha:
look! Our horses.

Pablo:
and cowboy tyrone's horse, too!

Tasha:
the bandit must have
cowboy tyrone c*ptive

Inside that cabin.

Uniqua:
well, if he does,
then we gotta save him.

Let's go!

Here goes...

Bandit!

Bandit!
We got you, bandit!

Whoa! They got the bandit
cornered on the porch!

What if he tries
to get in here?

I better sneak out
the back.

Tasha:
come out of there,
bandit!

And don't try
any funny business!

Pablo:
we got you surrounded!

Tyrone:
howdy partners!

All:
(scream)

Tasha:
cowboy tyrone!

Pablo:
you're okay!

Uniqua:
you got away!

Tyrone:
just by a hair, it seems.

Did you catch him,
partners?

Did you catch the bandit?

Uniqua:
we think we've
got him trapped inside.

But there's only one way
to find out.

When I count to three,
I'll open it,

And we'll all bust in
and catch him.

Ready?

All:
ready.

Uniqua:
one, two, three!

Gotcha, bandit!

Pablo:
surrender!

Tasha:
hands up!

Tyrone:
he's not here.

Tasha:
look, the back door's open!

Uniqua:
quick, before he gets away!

Bandit?

Tasha:
that's strange.
Where did he go?

Uniqua:
he got away! Tarnation!

Pablo:
he sure is crafty.

Tyrone:
he certainly is.

Pablo:
but the good thing is,
we scared him off.

Tasha:
yeah.

And we saved our horses.

Uniqua:
yeah. And we saved
cowboy tyrone, too.

Tyrone:
yes indeedy. Thanks, partners!

I'd say that calls
for a celebration.

All:
hoe-down!

* All right! Oh yeah!
Woo-hoo! Yee-haw! *

* Cowgirls, cowboys,
won't you come out tonight *

* Won't you come out tonight,
won't you come out tonight *

* Cowgirls, cowboys,
won't you come out tonight *

* And dance by the light
of the moon *

Pablo:
* we tracked a bandit
way out west, *

* Way out west,

Tasha:

are the best *

All:
* and we dance by the light
of the moon *

* Cowgirls, cowboys,

Yee-haw!

Hey, that's my jump rope!

This is yours?

I knew I'd find
the owner

If I brought it
with me to texas.

(Tyrone's belly rumbles)

Uniqua:
ooh. (Giggle)

I do declare.

I'd know that sound
anywhere.

Uniqua:
sounds like
someone's hungry.

Pablo:
wanna come to my house
for cookies?

Tyrone:
well, I'm all out of apples,

So that sounds great.

All:
snack time! Yaaa-hooo!

Yahoo!

Giddy-up (giggles)

Let's ride!

Tyrone:
that was an excellent
cowboy adventure,

Don't you think?

Tasha:
definitely.

Uniqua:
sure was!

Pablo:
you said it, partner!

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 and tasha:
see you later!

Uniqua and tyrone:
see you next time! See you!

Tyrone:
ya-hoo! So long, partners.
